p2c -- a Pascal to C translator

p2c converts the computer language Pascal to C which you can then compile with cc or gcc.

The p2c program was written by Dave Gillespie. A copy of his original home page is Dave Gillespie Home Page. It has some useful information about the translator but the links are now broken.

p2c-1.21alpha2.tar.gz This is the original package. To unpackage:

   gunzip p2c-1.21alpha2.tar.gz
   tar xvf p2c-1.21alpha2.tar

p2c-1.21alpha2.tar.Z I built this Unix compressed version. To unpackage:
```
   uncompress p2c-1.21alpha2.tar.Z
   tar xvf p2c-1.21alpha2.tar
```

2015 Oct 05. The original package p2c-1.21alpha2.tar.Z provided above gives compile errors on Mac OS X 10.10.5. These appear to come from more restrictive name conventions in the gcc compiler.

To correct the errors, make two name changes in these files:
TAGS
p2c.hdrs
comment.c
out.c
lex.c
parse.c
trans.c

rename: logf to logfile
rename: getline to getaline

add: -DTEST_MALLOC to src/Makefile on the DEFS line

CORRECTED p2c Compiler:

p2c-2.01.tar.gz
