I, too, have looked for one and this is the hard information I have collected: (1) HCR Corporation, 10 St. Mary Street, Toronto, Ontario, M4Y 1P9, 416-922-1937, makes a Pascal to C translator as part of their Pascal compiler. Thr first stage does the translation and the result is run through the CC compiler. It's for Unix systems, including Xenix ($500) and VAX ($2450) and 8600 ($2000?) and they say they'll port it to any machine for a price, including our CRAY's!! The person I talked to could not tell me how it would handle Turbo Pascal. (2) Milton Brown Software: This was/is in the catalog from The Programmer's Shop. I called for further information and was referred to a number in So. Calif. When I called this number, I believe it was for a Bank. Upon my request to speak to Milton Brown, they said there was no one there by that name. In sum, it looks like the best bet is HCR. Incidentally, they also do the UNITY operating system which sits on top of VAX/VMS and gives a reasonable facsimile of UNIX. I suggest that this message be stored and sent out over info-micro and info-C every few months. ------- -------
