Program was just a test from book. Compilers finite precision differ from each

Converters
----------

Where can I find converters or translators

Pascal - > C
Fortran - > C
Qbasic - > C
Basic - > C
Java - > C
Sql - > C
C - > C++

I ask thiis, because in my own "museum", I have about 20 000 lines perfect and
tested code to convert to C/ C++.

Thank you.
