Bob,
        Included in the source for Ghostscript is a program called "ansi2knr"
(in C source form) that claims to do just that.  I have tried it on little
programs and it seems to produce source that the Microware compiler can handle.
If you don't have access to the Ghostscript stuff, and don't want to download
that monster just for this little program, I could upload it separately -- the
"ansi2knr.c" file is only about 8k long.

        I think there is a program uploaded to Delphi in the last couple months
that does it too.
