I am preparing for a programming class involving about 150 students running
PL/I on a VAX with VMS and Eunice. We seem to have very few software tools
to make the students' lives easier. In particular, we lack a PL/I pretty-
printer (aka reformatter or beautifier). Does anyone out there have such a
beast? I would be happy with a prettyprinter written in PL/I, Fortran,
Pascal, Bliss, or C, or even (if all else failed) in a set of yacc/lex
productions for PL/I, from which I could write my own prettyprinter.
Any pointers to such software or other interesting tools for PL/I programming
(e.g. a lint for checking inter-file dependencies?) would be greatly
appreciated. Also, tools for such dialects of PL/I as PL/C or the "G"
subset would be quite acceptable.
