Chapter 3 What the Migration Aid Does
The migration aid is a powerful editor that accepts commands from a file,
applies those commands to a source file, and generates an output file
containing the appropriate changes. The migration aid can make many
changes, which are described below. In addition, you can easily modify
the command file to make specific changes your programs require (see the
chapter "Customizing the Command File"). However, since the migration
aid is an editor and not a compiler, it does not recognize symbols,
variables, and expressions as a compiler does. Therefore, certain
changes must be made manually; these are described in the next chapter
("What the Migration Aid Does Not Do").
