Try GOTOLESS CONVERSION at PO Box 835910 (my those Texans have long box
numbers!) Richardson, TX  75083 - phone 214-404-1404.  They have a product
called BAS_C (and BAS_PAS) which is claimed to convert BASIC to C or Pascal.
They'll do a sample conversion for you for 1 cent per line.  The tool, as I
recall is hosted on MS-DOS but for teh right price I'm sure you could get
source code :-)

I haven't actually used this product, but received some info about it in the
mail.  Clearly worth checking into if you're serious.
