p2c.taz sounds suspiciously like the old Pascal-to-C translator p2c posted
several years ago to comp.sources.misc.  I have never used p2c as I don't
program in Pascal, but I have heard good things about it.  Look for a site
that archives comp.sources.misc and you can get the sources to p2c.  If this
is the Pascal-to-C translator you are using that you don't think is very
good, I have bad news for you.  p2c is supposed to be the best freeware
Pascal-to-C translator.  Maybe you got a copy of an older translator that
was posted to comp.sources.misc before p2c came out.  That one isn't supposed
to be as good as p2c, but its name escapes me.  Check the archives out.
