Hi,

   I saw your post, and thought I'd mention that I've been working for the
past year or so on a MS DOS Basic (the BC thing) to TopSpeed Modula-2
converter, which not only converts modules but entire project systems.  It
was done to fill an in-house need, but with extra care to be as robust and
lexically complete and attractively formatted and efficient as possible
with an eye to someday being a product on its own.  That day isn't here
yet, but the program itself is all done and working aside from some
optimization.

   Modula-2 was the successor language from the creator of Pascal, and
it's very similar to Pascal aside from improvements.  Actually, the way my
converter was written, with only a bit more work I can probably generalize
it into a Basic->Pascal or Basic->C converter, which would extend its
potential market considerably beyond the fairly small Modula-2 world.

   Feel free to contact me if you have any interest.
