Converters from Modula 2 to any C based Language

Thanks to all who responded. I think I would first try the XDS
Compliers at http://www.excelsior-usa.com/xdsx86.html - I am getting a
lot of errors in my code now, so I am struggling to fix them.

Thanks again.
O.O.

A late answer... I have a huge code base in Modula-2, and was left
stranded when Stonybrook chose to sell out, and what I eventually
found was that the simplest, and above all the safest, was to do hand
translation to plain C. I can now literally convert procudeure by
procedure and module by module to C with almost no logical errors at
all and if you already have programmed in C (I hadn't) it should be no
problem. To ease the pain, first rewrite the Modula-2 code to be more
C-like and in this part of the translation take advantage of that
Modula-2 is a safer language (to remove all nested procedures is of
course a typical thing to do before converting to C).

Now, since the Stonybrook compiler is very very stable and runs well
on Vista etc. (which make it all the sader that they did not
continue...), a total conversion is not extremly urgent so in practise
I have so far only converted all my general purpose libraries and some
of my programs that I want to be in a language that can be taken over
by someone else if need be. However, from this I have learned that the
conversion is not an actual problem, it is only a matter of time and
the result is predictable.
