Is there any PASCAL to C converter out there. We have C but not PASCAL on our unix machine. Is it free domain ? Christoph D. Gatzka zrgc002@dtuzdv5a.bitnet Student of medicine University of Tuebingen Germany

Tell you what, Chris, if you find one, post it on the net and convince everyone to run it on every single pascal program extant in the world today, then execute "rm pascal" (or whatever the compiler is called) on every computer, then burn every copy of the Jensen/Wirth "Std. Pascal" manual. As soon as we can do this for Cobol, Basic and Fartran too, we'll be well on our way to guaranteeing that people program with quality languages, not computerized practical jokes.
