The wrapper generator can build wrappers, or converters that can convert data E-mail: vet@cs.utwente.nl from or into different formats, from a high-level description of the formats. The language in which such a high-level description is expressed is easy enough for scientists to be able to write format descriptions at minimal cost. In C2M, wrappers and documentation for human reading are automatically obtained from the same user-supplied specifications.
