For the OP. You should consider grabbing a copy of the jargon file (or
if you prefer browse in the Net at http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/ )
for this and miriads of other amusing acronyms.

Just plus .019999...
The OP must understand that be the p2c as the f2c (also available in the
SimTel.NET, albeit there is not any port to DJGPP I'm aware of),
genterate C code which can be compiled with a C compiler, _but_ require
additional libraries for the specifics of the language converted (mainly
I/O IIRC).
OTOH, the generated code is not very maintanable in the converted
language, so if the aim is to do a 'definive' port, you rather have to
do the conversion manually, taking in account the differences between
the programming models, I/O routines, etc.
