[comp.misc] BASIC to C translator program

glenn@welchlab.welch.jhu.edu (Glenn M. Mason) (06/12/90)

Does anyone out there know of a public-domain/commercial BASIC to C
translator program? I have a BASIC program that does something useful
but is terribly unreadable with all the GOSUBS and other BASIC constructs
of which I am not familiar. Any info, leads, etc. will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Glenn Mason

We at SINDATA developed a NIXDORF's BASIC to C translation program and C
developement enviroment called METAMORPHOSYS.  At present time it is running
on DEC VAX and RISC systems with Ultrix and is sold by DEC for the Italian
market.  For the worldwide distribution we have ports for almost any system
running UNIX System V on any platform (Bull, PCs, ICL, Apple, HP ....)

Its translated C is not the one a good C programmer would like to write,
but is almost readable, even with GOTO and GOSUBS in the original
BASIC source code.
