Now that I've had a couple of days to dig....

I can't find the info I had on BASTOC but the April 14th '87 issue
of PC magazine (and probably many other issues) carries an
advertizement for PC-Brank on pages 22 - 25.  On page 24
(upper right corner) they list the BASTOC Basic to C translater
for $399.  I've never personally used the package nor do I
know anyone who has so I can't give any recommendations.  I
also haven't ordered anything from PC-Brand so I have no
info, positive or negative, about them either.

Another option is the company:

	Gotoless Conversion
	P.O. Box 50068,
	Denton, TX 76206
	(214)221-0383
	
They have two packages that might do what you want.  One
is called BAS_PAS and the other BAS_C.  I have a couple
month old price sheet that lists each for $85.  However
the packet of info it came in says the price increased
on April 1 so you will have to contact them.  As with
BASTOC, I have no experience with either package and thus
cannot offer any opinions as to the quality of the translation.

Hope this helps.  If you do buy one or more of the products
I would like to hear how well they worked.
