ciao.

(Italian translation follows)

There is also a djgpp gnu pascal compiler. It should be 
able to compile pascal source to .o files, which can be 
linked together with other gcc-compiled .o files.

If you really need to translate to C for later 
manintenance, it could be helpful anyway, in case gpc 
is not a full compiler and translates pascal to C, 
passing C source to gcc. I don't have it installed on 
my PC so I can't tell for sure. :-(

There's also a problem: I think gpc is quite old and 
has not been updated for years, I don't know if it is 
fully compatible with newer releases of djgpp.

Tra i pacchetti djgpp c'e' anche un compilatore gnu 
pascal, dovrebbe consentire di compilare i sorgenti in 
pascal in .o in modo da poterli linkare con gli altri  
.o generati con il compilatore C.

Se invece hai proprio bisogno di tradurli in C per poi 
poterli eventualmnete modificare o compilare con un 
diverso compilatore C, puo' darsi che vada bene lo 
stesso, bisognerebbe vedere se si tratta di un 
compilatore completo oppure traduce il pascal in C e 
poi lancia gcc per ottenere l'eseguibile.

L'unico dubbio e' che si tratta di un pacchetto un po' 
vecchio e puo' darsi che non sia perfettamente 
compatibile con le ultime versioni del gcc.

Esistono anche delle utility non-djgpp che traducono 
pascal in C, ne ho provate alcune ma facevano 
abbastanza schifo. Se vuoi posso mandarti altre 
informazioni (prova intanto su altavista a cercare 
"tp2qc" o "turbo2qc" o "tptc" per iniziare...

ciao
