Folks,

I'm looking for a parser generator that generates output in PL/I.
That is, in the same way that there are variants of yacc that generate
Pascal or Perl or Java, I want "pl1yacc" (or pl1antlr or pl1eli or
.... you get the idea.)

Anyone know of such a tool?

Thanks,

De
[In the 35 years I've been in this biz, I've never seen one.  It wouldn't
be hard in principle to translate the parser skeleton in bison or yacc to
generate PL/I, but it'd still be a chunk of work. -John]
