I've also been doing some very preliminary work on the same thing. My
interest is in a Delphi (a.k.a. Object Pascal) to Component Pascal
translator. There are existing Turbo Pascal to Component Pascal,
Modula-2 to Oberon, Modula-2 to Pascal translators but a common problem
seems to be that they give up as soon as they don't recognise something.
I'm not looking for perfection. Basically I only need something that
will do 70-90% of the job and just highlight the bits that it doesn't
understand.
