[antlr-interest] newbie - before I start

Hi,
Before I start my journey into the new (to me) world of translating code. I 
thought I had better ask if someone had already done the work I need.  I 
don't want to re-invent the wheel.

Has anyone done the following:
converted VB6 to python?
converted VFP (visual FoxPro) to python?
converted MsSQL (procedures/triggers) to Postgres (functions/triggers)?

When I say "convert" I'm talking about code and not visual controls such as 
buttons and text boxes.

I have need to convert VFP code into python.  But I doubt anyone has actually 
done that so I asked for VB6.  VB6 has a close enough structure that I think 
I can change the grammar to work with VFP.  

In my effort to move away from M$ I would also like to convert MsSQL 
Transact-SQL to Postgres. 

So I'm hoping some kind soul will jump start me in the right direction.  I 
have ordered the book and hope to have it in a few days.  The book along with 
a working translation will get me a long way.

thanks in advance!
