hi,
i think something called p2c exists; a pascal to c translator.
I don't know if its been ported to Linux or not; i think it has
because a mention was made of adding it to the SLS distribution.
But as of now, it is not available on either sunsite or tsx-11
(i checked).
i found a copy of the original sources on wpi.wpi.edu in /contrib
using archie. perhaps its not too difficult to port.
if someone has a working copy of this, could they please upload
it to sunsite?
thanks,
jem.
