HCR sells a product called HCR/PASCAL.

HCR/PASCAL is a Pascal compiler that uses C as an intermediate
language. It first performs a direct translation from 
J&W/ANSI/ISO (level 0) Pascal to C, and then invokes the system's C 
compiler to complete the compilation.

It can be used to translate Pascal into C if you want to throw away
the Pascal source. However, HCR/PASCAL's numerous UNIX-style features
(its ability to call and be called by C routines, its ability to
integrate Pascal and C routines into runtime libraries, its ability to
perform system calls, its file-handling capabilities, etc) as well as
its Lazy I/O and its UCSD-style string package will probably convince 
you that Pascal is the way to go!

HCR/PASCAL is available on a wide range of hardware that runs UNIX since 
it is written in C and since the compiler's code-generator never needs to be
rewritten for new machines.
