It is possible to do a direct translation of assembler to C,
though the C won't be very readable and won't be near as fast
as if one wrote directly in C.

It gets complicated when you get to I/O, or almost any of the
system macros.

Consider, though, starting with 16 variables representing registers.

   LR R1,R2

translates to R1=R2;

   AR R1,R2

to R1 += R2;

Names defined through DS or DC translate as uninitialized or
initialized, probably static, variables in C.  That could all
be done in an automated fa****on.

Then hand translate any system macros such as I/O.
