#N:orstcs:39300003:000:139 orstcs!abbasb Dec 30 10:16:00 1983 Does anyone know of a translator for translating Pascal programs to C. I would appreciate any info. in this subject Thanks a lot-- Abbas

HCR sells a product called HCR/PASCAL. HCR/PASCAL is a Pascal compiler that uses C as an intermediate language. It first performs a direct translation from J&W/ANSI/ISO (level 0) Pascal to C, and then invokes the system's C compiler to complete the compilation. It can be used to translate Pascal into C if you want to throw away the Pascal source. However, HCR/PASCAL's numerous UNIX-style features (its ability to call and be called by C routines, its ability to integrate Pascal and C routines into runtime libraries, its ability to perform system calls, its file-handling capabilities, etc) as well as its Lazy I/O and its UCSD-style string package will probably convince you that Pascal is the way to go! HCR/PASCAL is available on a wide range of hardware that runs UNIX since it is written in C and since the compiler's code-generator never needs to be rewritten for new machines.

I am looking for a Pascal to C translator, or any tools that might help in translating Pascal source code to C source code. Please sent me any suggestions, sources, or information that you might have to make this task easier. Adam Stock at Yale Comix

The system (which is a prototype of the user interface intended for IBM academic workstation), can be licensed to universities for $100.00 (I don't know about commercial interests) from CMU. The phone number is (412)-578-6700. For anyone with a Sun Workstation, this system is WELL worth the investment as it offers an efficient and clean working environment for interacting between networked Suns. (This in comparison to Sun Unix 4.2 Release 1.1, I haven't seen later releases, yet). To return to the Pascal-to-C issue, for a moment, it is worth stressing the fact that the large number of Pascal dialects makes it difficult to develop a general purpose translator, and some post-processing may be required with the translator, however, it has made life a lot easier for me since I rarely use Pascal enough to make it worth my while to delve into the syntax.

Whitesmiths, Ltd. in Concord Mass., sells ptc a pascal to c translator. Price varies.

Dr. James Peterson developed a VERY good Pascal->C translator while at CMU for the Andrew Project. The translator is mentioned in a past issue of IEEE Software. The Andrew System is a collection of software for Suns, of which the translator is a very small part. The translator (and maybe the entire Andrew System) is owned by IBM. Educational institutions can get the System for about $100. Anyone else, well your probably out of luck. -- rob robertson decvax!cwruecmp!nitrex!rob.UUCP (216) 791-0922 cbosgd!nitrex!rob.UUCP nitrex!rob@case.CSNET nitrex!rob%case@csnet-relay.ARPA
