[comp.compilers] pascal to C

wbader@scarecrow.csee.Lehigh.EDU (William Bader-84668) (06/20/89)

A company called HCR makes a Pascal to C translator that passes the Pascal
Validation Suite (on Xenix 286, I think).  The other compilers that I
have used under Xenix (MS Pascal, and Oregon Pascal-2) are either not
conformant to the standard (MS) or slightly buggy (Oregon).  I use the
386 version of the Oregon compiler, though, because it produces faster
code and the C generated by HCR has a tendency to crash the (rather poor)
Xenix C compiler.  Also, HCR requires linking with a library, and HCR only
provides a 286 version.
