Hi, 

 I study on maritime university. I have got a subject called Digital Technology and we use program MAX+Plus. They have old equipment on which you may write programs only in Max+Plus. I have given proposal to change program from Max+plus to quartus. Teacher told me - "OK , but you need to know, how to convert programs from Quartus to MAX+plus".   This is a short story, why I need to know how to convert from quartus to Max+plus - if it is possible.   If You know how to do it, I will be very grateful.    I use quartus and I have board DE-0 - for the time being. I know how to convert from Max+plus to quartus - it's very simple.

But you may need to change any statements not supported by M+II.

It will depend what the source code is - as davka said you have to re-create the projects in Max+Plus from source. 

 If you have HDL then you will have to check it is supported by Max+Plus, as the HDL support is fairly poor. Also, Max+Plus does not support BDF files that are generated by Quartus for graphical files, only GDF (which quartus always wants to convert to BDF). SO backwards conversion is not easy (and I would not recommend it).
