| I am interested to know if web2c can be used to convert any Pascal |program to C as it is done for TeX programs. If it can be could you please |let me know how it can be done, like what do I need in the .defines file, |etc. The short answer is no. Web2c is tailored to TeX sources and cannot handle arbitrary Pascal programs. For instance, Knuth does not use pointers and heap memory in TeX.
