For pascal you should get the excellent pascal to c compiler.  It
produces C code and then you compile the C code.  It works very
well. In the past I have compiled it on both a System V machine and
a BSD one and I expect it to work without much trouble on a Next.

It handles several dialects of Pascal, including Turbo Pascal, HP Pascal,
and VMS Pascal.

Was the original poster in Germany?  Here are several places that have the
compiler, called p2c which archie provided:
