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
