Perhaps the best solution to this problem would be to get the public
domain BASIC interpreter available from mod.sources, (which, coincidentally,
was written in C,) and use that.  It would be an approximation, of course,
to a true translation, but it could be done. :-)

Disclaimer:  I am always willing to solve a problem by the most obscure or
obtuse method I cna think of, but it may not be the only obscure and obtuse
method available.
