I tried p2c for a Modula-2 to C conversion and din't have too much success
(the M-2 I was working with had some rather peculiar features which didn't
help). There is another package called mtc which I found to be better for
my purposes, as it is a pure M-2 to C converter rather than an extension of
a Pascal to C translator.


Mtc is available (I think) by ftp from rusmv1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de as the
file /soft/unixtools/compilerbau/mtc.tar.Z


Good luck,
