I am new to this newsgroup and am not sure if there has been an exchange
of information on mapping PASCAL to C and vice versa. I migrated to
C from PASCAL, and to help the transition, I developed these macros. But
I have continued to use them because they have made my *C* programs
eminently more readable. Making the transition back from hard core C
may be difficult, but for those of ye who are new to C this may help...

While true Do ...
For i=0; i < Junk; i++ Do
If (x < 10) and not found
Then begin
	fdgkgj;
	sdfkslf;
     end
Else dkfhgkjfdhg;

See .. No extraneous '(' and ')'. Makes the code look really clean.
