I agree 100% with Marin. Either the code is running fine and you should use it
as-is. Why taking the risk to break something during the translation ? Just
build a nice library and interface to it. If the code is not good (not
documented, not running well, too expensive to maintain) you should consider
to rewrite it from scratch.

Pascal.
