Try Bob Stout's snippets page (www.snippets.org).  IIRC, he has one
of those there.  How many lines of code are we talking about?  What
does the program do?  Depending on how comfortable you are with C and
how long the program is, you might be better off doing it by hand.

For example:

print "Hello, World"

translates easily:

#include <stdio>
int main()
{
    printf("Hello, World\n");
}

A for loop:

for i = 1000 to 0 step -1

for (i = 1000; i >= 0; --i)

But I wouldn't want to to that to 10000 lines of source.

Once you get into graphics or console I/O things, you're on your own.
