We have some Pascal code (about 12,000 lines) that we wish were
C (so we could have the same source for Suns, VAX/UNIX, Amdahl/UTS,
and Cray machines). I understand HCR Corp. has a Pascal compiler
that translates to C first and then compiles the C. Has anyone used
this product to translate Pascal to maintainable C? Has anyone used
anything else to translate Pascal to maintainable C?

There was a pascal to C translator posted to comp.sources.unix (I think) a few months ago. I have played with is some, but only to test it out. I seems to do a good job, except for a bug involving passing pointers to records as var parameters (easily fixed) and a dubiously implemented set of pascal i/o macros (some of the i/o stuff is just dead wrong.) The program is about 200K of pascal source. You can probably get it from the comp.sources.unix archives. -- Scott Schwartz schwartz@gondor.psu.edu

Pretty obvious from the subject line, we need a public domain or inexpensive
third party Pascal -> C translator, written in C, in source form. BSD or
System V specific implementations are OK: we can modify, and in fact will
have to for our home-grown version of Pascal (basically UCSD with extensions).
This will likely be used for a one-time translation of source to source, so
human-readable C (or at least the option for it) is imperative.
I know I have seen queries and/or responses for Pascal -> C translators on
the net before, so please don't flame me for not paying appropriate attention.
Mea culpa, already.
Email responses are fine. Thanks in advance.
