   Is there any public domain software that does even rudimentary BASIC to C
translation?

There is a PD program called BASTOC that does this, though if I remember
right, it really only worked with old GW-BASIC with line numbers, and it had
a hard time with anything more than FOR-NEXT and IF-THEN structures.

I have seen oned called BASTOC... available on any local BBS...  I have
tried to use it and found it to be unsatisfactory.  I have tried to
convert GWBASIC programs and structured QuickBASIC 4.5 programs into C,
then tried to compile it on Borland C++ 2.0 (sorry, Microsftites...) and
it would not seem to compile corectly.  I wouldn't advise wasting your
download time for this program.
