[net.lang] Porting PL/1 programs to UNIX

bill@sdcsvax.UUCP (Bill Appelbe) (08/03/84)

Are there any tools to help those stuck with the problem of porting
PL/1 programs to UNIX? In order of preference these would be
.    A portable PL/1 compiler (i.e., written in C or Fortran,
     with retargetable code generation)
.    A portable PL/1-lookalike compiler (i.e., written in C or Fortran,
     with retargetable code generation)
.    A PL/1 to C translator - or at least one which did a half-hearted job
.    An LALR grammer for PL/1 (if you have to start from scratch, one
     might as well use yacc!)

Any information, especially including price, source availability, etc.
would be appreciated. If there is enough interest I will post a summary
to the net.

     Cheers -- Bill (sdcsvax!bill, wappelbe@nosc  619-452-3729
