[comp.sys.hp] basic to c translator

scowles@lll-lcc.aRpA (Sid Cowles) (07/24/87)

i am in definite need of a basic to c translator.  i'm not
anticipating that there is one capable of translating rocky
mountain basic to c, but i would like verification of that.
if there are sufficient replies, i'd be glad to post a summary.
thanks,

I remember seeing a product a year or two ago that was called (I think) BTOC
but I don't remember the name of the company.  sorry.  If I can track it down,
I'll post a note to this space.  Stay  tuned to your favorite channel, medium,
or fortune teller...

I was just looking through the August issue of "Dr. Dobb's Journal" and 
on p. 122 there is a discussion of translating BASIC to C (in this
case MS-BASIC(tm) to MS-C 4.0(tm) using a program called BASTOC from
JMI Software (PO Box 481, Spring House, PA  19477.)  

You may wish to peruse the article and their feelings about the
process.  

This is not a recommendation for the product, and I am in no way
affiliated with JMI Software.
