I have a large body of code written in forth, which I would like to
convert to C. Does anyone know of a program to convert the source
code. At the least it would be nice to have all the syntax converted.
Of course it all has to be gone thru but it would be nice to have a jump
start on it.

I'm grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks

Zac,

The FAQs on here pointed to 2 Forth to C compilers - I have downloaded them
but not yet evaluated them:

---
5.2. Where can I find a Forth-to-C compiler?

An unsupported prototype Forth-to-C compiler is available at
<http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/forth2c.tar.gz>. It is
described in the EuroForth'95 paper
<http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/papers/ertl&maierhofer95.ps.gz>.

Another Forth-to-C compiler is supplied with Rob Chapman's
<mailto:r...@idacom.hp.com> Timbre
<http://www.taygeta.com/forthcomp.html> system.
---

There is also a book available from FIG about "Writing your own programming
language in C++.", (Forth)...

This makes us heretics but also realists I think.
