Well, the Linux program I saw had a command-line switch for Turbo Pascal.

Anyway, I have seen two DOS programs which do this task already :)

From Garbo:
 /pc/c-lang
 tptc17sc.lzh    Turbo Pascal to C translator (source)
 tptc17tc.lzh    TP to C transl. (test cases)
 tptcexe.lzh     TP to C transl. (exe + doc)
 tptcinfo.lzh    TP to C transl. (info)
 tptcsup.lzh     TP to C transl. (support files)
Although I think the .lzh extension implies it is quite old.

There is also a pascal to c translator on SimTel in /msdos/c -- check the
00_index.txt in that dir for details.
