I recently had a similar problem and was pointed to a program called
p2c (pascal to c translator). I am sure that the opposite facility
is also covered (c to pascal). I got the program at wuarchive.wustl.edu,
but it is available in many locations -- check archie.
The only problem I have had with the translator is that after the code
is translated and is then compiled, C tries to link in some pascal
functions which are not there -- specifically, subroutines dealing with
set functions. If anyone can tell me what to do about this (short of
writing my own substitute functions, which is less than satisfactory,
since I am not sure exactly how Pascal implements them), I would
appreciate it.
