Many thanks for people who responed.

Here was my question:

> We are in the process of converting of about 1/2 millions lines of K&R C codes to
> ANSI-C on sunOS4.1.1. Does anyone have any experience in using such any tools
> that allow you to convert K&R styles to ANSI-C?
>
> Mostly what we need is a way to generate function headers and function prototypes.

Here are the responds I got from the net:

- We use cproto, which is available from the info-server@daresbury.ac.uk,
as well as (probably) many other sites. It _only_ converts function headers
and prototypes, but does it quite well.

We also use QA*C, which we paid a fortune for, so that's not a lot of help
to people, but it is a worth-while piece of software.

- You can get the protoize package from
uunet!~/packages/gnu/protoize-1.39.0.5.Z
