P2C on a PC

hello


I am struggling to compile Dave Gillespie's P2C Pascal to C translator
using DGJPP C compiler in MSDOS on a PC.


I assume the Makefiles supplied are basically in UNIX format and have
made the necessary changes (I hope correctly).


I have achieved a running P2C.EXE, it translates Pascal structure OK,
ie PROCEDURE, FUNCTION, TYPE, BEGIN, FOR k=3D1 TO 10, TRY, RECOVER
etc. but fails to translate built in procedures or functions, ie
WRITELN, READ, STRLEN(), SIN() etc. I was using the MSDOS prompt in
Windows NT and had to shorten many file names to 8+3
characters. Thinking I may have made mistakes I have just repeated the
whole procedure on WINDOWS 98 using the original long names and get
the same omissions in the resulting P2C translation.


Has anyone used P2C on a PC and can give some advice, or perhaps a
copy of the compiled code?
