Greetings! For my thesis I am attempting to resurrect a content analysis system known as WORDS. It is written in PL/I, a language which, until a few weeks ago, I was happily unknowledgable of. Now I must read thousands of lines of this code which was written in the 1960's and early 1970's before they even knew what structure was. It is quite horrid looking and I would like to see it in a semi-formatted state, if possible. Does anyone out there know of a formatter or pretty printer for PL/I? Available operating systems here at USC are MVS/XA, Unix (Sys V and BSD), VMS, and VM. Another trick would be to translate the PL/I to C. Again, any information would be greatly appreciated. Please respond by e-mail. Thanks. Harrison sharp@cs.scarolina.edu (or) ncrcae!usceast!sharp
