Subject: Pascal to C converters

6. *****
 Q: I'm looking for a program to convert Turbo Pascal code
automatically to C.  (Mother of all FAQs? :-)

 A: To find utilities for such a specific purpose the very first
thing to do is to look through file lists. At garbo.uwasa.fi there
are useful file lists such as /pc/INDEX.ZIP and INDEXTS.ZIP. Here is
some old information as an example:
 From simibm file list --------------------------------------------
 T2C.ARC        Microsoft's Turbo Pascal to C translator
 TPTC17.ARC     Turbo Pascal to C translator, 1of4
 TPTC17SC.ARC   Turbo Pascal to C - src for translator, 2of4
 TPTC17TC.ARC   Turbo Pascal to C - test cases, 3of4
 TPTCINFO.ARC   Info on Turbo Pascal to C translator, 4of4
 From files-mm (Micro Maniacs Opus file list) ---------------------
 PTOC.ZIP       79789           Pascal To C Conversion Program.
 TPC.ZIP        26262           Converts TurboPascal to C.
 GLOCKEN.ZIP   112240 01/15/88  Glockenspiel Turbo Pascal to 'C'
 TPTOQC.ZIP    112062 12/01/87  Translate Turbo Pascal to Quick 'C'
 TPAS2MSC.ZIP  111884 12/10/89  MS Convert Turbo Pascal to MS C
 I've seen some positive comments on a P2C, and our system manager
has installed it on our mainframe with very good results, but I do
not know where it is publicly available.
   I have seen an ad on a Pascal to C translator in the Shareware
Magazine, Vol V, No. 6, Nov.-Dec. 1990, p. 52, involving PC-Sig disk
1321.

 Two different Pascal-to-C converters are available from a
comp.sources.unix archive near you.
 volume10: ptoc/part[01-02]     Pascal to C translator
 volume13: pas2c.pch            Patches for Pascal-to-C translator
 volume21: p2c/part[01-32]      Pascal to C translator
     "     p2c/patch1           Fix to incomplete shar files for p2c,
                                Patch1
 p2c is by Dave Gillespie.  It understands several Pascal dialects
(HP, partial Turbo, etc) and is very flexible and configurable. It
has been compiled and used on Sun-3's, so presumably it is fairly
portable among 32-bit Unix machines.
 The p2c package is also available for ftp from csvax.caltech.edu.
Note, however, that although it can translate PC dialects of Pascal,
the converter itself runs under UNIX. (Timo's note, it is also
available on Garbo.)
 If you have the ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/ts/tsfaqn44.zip Frequently
Asked Questions collection, also take a look at the old
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/pd2/faquote.zip for more information.
