Strange, since its a standard file manipulation scripting tool for UNIX/
Linux but I notice that its supported by SlickEdit.

I was more surprised to see that SlickEdit has language support for Lex & 
Yacc but not for Coco/R. I've used both and vastly prefer Coco/R, because:

- Coco/R only needs one source file to describe the syntax to be parsed
  while Lex & Yacc need two independent files

- its a lot easier to modify its code templates

- there are versions for many languages, not just C

- each version is ported into the language that it generates parsers for,
  so installing and using it is straight-forward for anybody who will
  use it and means its unlikely to require any additional libraries to be
  installed.
