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. Steve Schumacher Creative Systems, Inc.
