Dear Scott,
What was wrong with getting a p2c translation (just curious).
In my case, for a start: it won't handle schema types, which are the reason I use GPC and can't use FPC. I tried to translate into Object Oriented Pascal a while back, and ran into some trouble, in that the OOP code was a lot messier than the schema code.
Yours, Kevan
Scott:
What was wrong with getting a p2c translation (just curious). You only have to do the translation once, then you code in C after that.
I'm used to programming in Pascal, not C. Also, it's safer because of the type checking. If I switched I could never go back.
I used p2c (I assume we are talking about the same one). Its a very picky tool that crashes when you look at it funny, but I was able to get satisfactory results.
You are right about looking at it funny! One kind of bug(?) is that it changes how it handles i/o for the input file in the middle of the code. I haven't determined why but fortunately it's a rare problem.
