I am working on an online javascript CTF->CAT convertor which is nearly finished. You can try it out just now at the temporary address:

CTF->CAT convertor

Please try it out, and report any errors.

Note some issues with the conversion:

* Paste the ctf listing into the left-hand textarea, press the convert button
and then copy the resulting output in the right-hand textarea into a textfile and save it as whatever.cat

* The ctf standard does not store the size of a program, so this convertor just puts the size at 70000 for every program. The fa-123 and fa-122 programs should accept this.

* The script does not attempt to parse the program and understand it, it just uses a few quick and dirty rules to recognise were a command is used and converts the syntax from CTF to CAT. Because these rules that I've used are very simple, some of the less widely used commands such as are found in the table and recursion modes and on the VARS and STATS and GRAPH menus may not convert properly.

Yes, Caspro is still kicking about.

Ah nostalgia - it ain't what it used to be.

I believe CrimsonCasio is offering webspace,
or so says the http://algebrafx2.cjb.net/ site.
