 I was going to tell you to use the RATFOR preprocessor, but then I
read your posting [ :-) ] and I decided to post this response:

 The only folks I know who still work with RATFOR are at Cobalt Blue
2940 Union Avenue, Suite C, San Jose, CA 95124.

 They sell lots of conversion utilities, and probably the one you want.
You might want to call Clyde Lightfoot or Beverly Lightfoot at 408-723-0474
for more info.

 There, I refrained from recommending you convert to C [ :-)) ].
Besides, I like C++ more now anyway!!
