|    I am interested to know if web2c can be used to convert any Pascal
|program to C as it is done for TeX programs. If it can be could you please
|let me know how it can be done, like what do I need in the .defines file, 
|etc. 

The short answer is no. Web2c is tailored to TeX sources and cannot
handle arbitrary Pascal programs. For instance, Knuth does not use
pointers and heap memory in TeX.
