Does anyone know of a Cobol parser or compiler that is written in LISP? (or PASCAL or will otherwise run on a LISP machine or DEC-20) [This is not a joke!] Since a running parser may be hard to find, I'd also be interested in references to grammar driven parser/compiler generators that would run in a LISP environment. I'm working on a program understanding/program transformation system. The target language at the moment is Cobol because there are lots of unstructured Cobol programs and commercial systems that attempt to restructure them automatically. AI program understanding can improve the process. To demonstrate this, I need a Cobol parser, and would rather find one than build one. Does anyone have any pointers?
