PASCAL like C with no sweat

[krishna at cg-d.UUCP]

I am new to this newsgroup and am not sure if there has been an exchange
of information on mapping PASCAL to C and vice versa. I migrated to
C from PASCAL, and to help the transition, I developed these macros. But
I have continued to use them because they have made my *C* programs
eminently more readable. Making the transition back from hard core C
may be difficult, but for those of ye who are new to C this may help...

/* Cut here -------------------------- ereh tuC */

#define begin {
#define end }
#define true 1
#define false 0
#define TRUE true
#define FALSE false

/* Control Structures */

#define If if(
#define Then )
#define Else else
#define While while(

/* Sample uses ... */

While true Do ...
For i=0; i < Junk; i++ Do
If (x < 10) and not found
Then begin
	fdgkgj;
	sdfkslf;
     end
Else dkfhgkjfdhg;

See .. No extraneous '(' and ')'. Makes the code look really clean.
