Cool. Check this out:

$ r DECNET_MIGRATE.EXE
DECNET_MIGRATE> convert command "show known lines"

! *** Converting the following NCP command to NCL:
!     SHOW KNOWN LINES
!     Warning - Cannot determine device type, assuming CSMA-CD
SHOW NODE 0 CSMA-CD STATION * ALL STATUS 

DECNET_MIGRATE> convert command "show known circuits"

! *** Converting the following NCP command to NCL:
!     SHOW KNOWN CIRCUITS
!     Warning - Cannot determine device type, assuming CSMA-CD
SHOW NODE 0 ROUTING CIRCUIT * ALL STATUS 
SHOW NODE 0 CSMA-CD STATION * ALL STATUS 

DECNET_MIGRATE> convert command "show known nodes"   

! *** Converting the following NCP command to NCL:
!     SHOW KNOWN NODES
SHOW NODE 0 ROUTING CIRCUIT {{{}}} ADJACENCY * ALL STATUS
