it is not well known that there is an officially authorized
translation of the sources for the 1st Ed. to Modula-2,
these sources are on the "official" CD and easily machine
translated with our masters M2O (which I ported to CP)
to Oberon/CP. I used it on some of the modules, but since
Bill Press is very picky about releasing source I never
made them publicly available.

regards

NumericalRecipes
Chris
I am not familiar with the various Pascal
dialecs (I last used VAX Pascal decades ago!).
For mathematical and engineering work the
book 'Numerical Recipes' is a very valuable
cookbook (and theory) resource, and is available
in several languages (FORTRAN, c, Pascal at least).
Strangely enough, when I need to translate something
to CP, I find the FORTRAN the easiest source (but the
GOTOs are often VERY difficult to handle).
Can we now expect the translator tools to be powerful
enough and mature enough to handle such translations
reliably, and with minimal or modest 'user interaction'?
That would indeed be useful.
Cheers
Robert
