Pascal in general has a close functional similarity to C. I learned
Turbo Pascal, and then C, and found that I was able to convert all
my programming libraries to C in a matter of a day or so (about
3000 lines of source).
Since I know both languages (and C seems much more portable than
Pascal) I would happily convert it when John posts it.
