There was a file making the rounds of BBSs that I came across a year or
two ago.  It was written by somebody at DEC and contained some routines
to allow Turbo Pascal programs to be fairly easily ported to VAX/VMS
Pascal.  I probably still have it somewhere but it would take too long
to dig it out.

Given that neither Turbo Pascal nor VAX/VMS Pascal allows you to do
anything substantial without getting very far away from ISO Pascal, I
recommend using C.
