I have a friend, a student at Cornell, who worked last summer at Northwest
Instrument Systems in Portland, Oregon (U.S.A.), and they used a program
written by a professor at Oregon State in Corvallis, Oregon (I think, it may
have been University of Oregon instead, in Eugene Oregon).  Sorry I can't be
of more help than this.  I'm leaving school for the summer in a week so
don't bother trying to reach me with mail at this address.  
    Good luck.

Although the Whitesmith compiler produces C as an intermediate step, it 
does not support most popular Pascal extensions.  In particular, it does
not have string support.

I spoke to the TGL people about 2 years ago.  They developed the system
for their own use, and decided to market it to recoup some of their
costs.  I assume that it works (although it seems a little pricey).
