P2c started out as a tool to help us translate the Chipmunk Tools, a set of CAD tools developed at Caltech. These tools were written in HP Pascal, a powerful dialect of the Pascal programming language which unfortunately only works on Hp Computers. When it came time for the tools to outgrow their original Hp Computers “Chipmunk” workstations, they had to be translated to a more portable language like C. I was able to save several months of dull grunt work by writing an automatic translator to do the job. True, it did take a year and a half to write the translator, but the grunt work was almost entirely eliminated.
