- I'm looking for a program that can translate Pascal to C source code,

- There are two Pascal-to-C translators freely available that I know of.
-
- One is called ptc, was written by Per Bergsten, and posted back in
- 1987, probably to what was called mod.sources then (?). I have a
- somewhat enhanced version available for ftp here, in
- tik.vtt.fi:pub/ptc. You might find the originally posted version,
- plus a set of patches, from your favorite archive site. Ptc handles
- standard Pascal, with some small extensions.
-
- Then there is p2c by Dave Gillepsie, posted to comp.sources.unix last
- year (Volume 21, Issues 46--77 (yes, 32 parts)). It has more features, for
- example handles HP Pascal extensions (probably of no use to you). P2c
- should be available at various archive sites.
-
- I have used ptc successfully to compile TeX, and can recommend it.
- P2c also seems to be well written and tested, but I haven't used it.
