Lately, I've come across some public domain C programs written in
DeSmet C.  However, I don't have a DeSmet C compiler and I haven't
found any switches in my Microsoft C compiler that will enable it
to recognize the DeSmet C Syntax.  (If you're not familiar with this
syntax, it seems to like to do away with { and }.  Using a $ for {
and either indentation or blank lines to signal a }.  Also appears
to use :: for ||.  What else I don't know.)

Is there any easy way to translate DeSmet C source programs to
the "regular" syntax?  Some public domain translator would be nice,
I don't need source (esp. if it's in DeSmet C), just .EXE.

Or do I need to just DEL *.* this stuff?

Mail to me, and I'll post results if there's sufficient interest.
