SUMMARY
Microsoft doesn't offer a QuickBasic (or Basic) to C language translation program, but the following information describes one such program:
Software Translations has released B-Tran, a QuickBasic-to-C source code translator. This product is marketed in Europe by Sector 7 Software Ltd.
The current version, B-Tran Version 7, supports QuickBasic Version 4.00. However, it does not support user-defined TYPEs or the following new ways to dimension arrays introduced in QuickBasic Version 4.00:
DIM varname AS type
DIM arrayname (1 TO 5)
Software Translations lists this program for about $495. B-Tran Version 7 produces C code from source code applications written in Microsoft QuickBasic. B-Tran is guaranteed by Software Translations to have 97 percent translation. A demonstration disk is available from Software Translations for $25.
