That's a reasonable request and think about how to do it.

Not gonna happen. Even if I were willing to learn to program in C
(which I'm not), the program is so big that it would be a huge job
just to translate it into a usable form of C code that could be
further built upon. Meanwhile there are automatic translators out
there that several list members have successfully applied, generating
C source that, while not very comprehensible, can be compiled. Stefan
Evert has posted a UNIX/C implementation of Version 1.3.8 at
/ftp.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/software/pmx/
Also, version 1.3.7 is on the gmd server and there's not that much
difference between that and 1.3.8.
