output a c file?

Hi Anthony,

Not with GCC.

Comeau C++ used to do that.  I'm not sure if it still does that.

Stroustrup's cfront used to do that.  But was abandoned with cfront 4.0 when exceptions were attempted to be added (around 1990).  It's no longer available.

You may be able to find an old copy of cfront (see above URL).
