WISP
WISP (Wang Interchange Source Processor) is an integrated set of utilities that facilitates the complete migration of Wang VS COBOL applications to the open systems and internet-ready world of UNIX or Windows NT. WISP provides the added flexibility of maintaining source files on the Wang VS system and migrating them as needed, to the target system.

Contents
WISP/UNIX and WISP/NT includes utilities for:

• Transferring source data
• Translating Wang VS COBOL source code
• Call-compatible subroutines (VSSUBS) and routines to emulate the Wang VS environment
• Interpreting and converting Wang VS procedure language, and
• Optimizing terminal operation and screen management.

Benefits
The benefits of a WISP/UNIX or WISP/NT Migration: 

• Accurate translation. Migrated applications function identically to the original Wang VS.
• Accurate wang vs. screen emulation. WISP fully supports Wang VS screen I/O functionality.
• Environment-appropriate operation. Migrated software functions as they were written for the new environment.
• Complete translation. The majority of migration activities are automatic and require very few manual changes. If changes are required, they are made only once to the original Wang VS sourc
• Fast turnaround. Because of the speed and completeness of the WISP translator, migrations of major applications can be accomplished in relatively short periods of time.
• Independence. WISP does not use any vendor proprietary software or forms management products, nor are converted programs locked into proprietary software packages.
• Easy to use. WISP handles the COBOL and environment-specific issues with very few manual changes.
