During the last month several people have asked for a Modula-2 -> C
translator, a few such programs have been mentioned, well, here is an
other one: mtc.
Mtc is stable and has successfully translated more than 100,000 lines
of non-trivial Modula-2 code to C. The produced C code runs without
problems on several target platforms. The C versions of the programs
are in general a little bit smaller and a little bit faster than the
original versions. BTW, mtc runs 3 times faster than the Modula-2
compiler of SUN.

NAME
mtc - Modula-2 to C translator
DESCRIPTION
Mtc translates Modula-2 programs in readable and therefore
maintainable K&R C code without major restrictions (even nested
procedures and modules). The translator is largely gen-
erated using the GMD compiler construction toolbox. It con-
tains semantic analysis as far as needed for the task.
Semantic analysis is rather complete and comprises scope
handling, name analysis, and type determination. Context
conditions are not checked, as it is assumed that only
correct programs are processed. Mtc translates Modula-2 as
defined in "N. Wirth: Programming in Modula-2, Third
Corrected Edition, Springer-Verlag, 1985".
RESTRICTIONS
Coroutines are not implemented yet.
Comments are lost.

Hi Josef JG> During the last month several people have asked for a Modula-2 -> C JG> translator, a few such programs have been mentioned, well, here is an JG> other one: mtc. I would be more interested in a C to modula-2 translator. Do you have such a creature, too? And while we're at it, how about a TurboPascal to modula-2 translator. Anyone?

Logitech supplies a TurboPascal to Modula 2 translator. I am not sure if it comes with the compiler or as an extra. David Jones, Selkirk College, Castlegar, B.C. djgjones@selkirk.bc.ca

Turbo Pascal to Modula2 is in the Logitech Toolkit.
