I don't think that is correct, I believe the correct translation is:

for (i = 0, j = npol-1; i < npol; j = i++)
guts;

or

for (i = 0, j = npol-1; i < npol; j = i++)
   {guts}

to:

i=0
j=npol-1
WHILE(i<npol)
guts

INC(i)
j=i
WEND

Note that the last argument of the "for" statement is executed after 
everything in the loop happens.  My reference is Waite's Group's C 
Primer Plus starting at page 212 (I'm only up to page 69 for my 
CtoFB3 converter, through I did put a first level "for" translator in 
it, does not handle the "," in the first argument yet or the j=i++ 
yet.  I'm setting Robert's sample aside for when I get that far).
