	S/SL is used here at Bell-Northern Research. In fact it was
	partially funded by BNR. I used it at Queen's University when I 
	took a compiler course from Jim Cordy (one of the designers). 
	S/SL is simple, elegant, and very easy to develop and maintain. 
	I was quite impressed. Unfortunately all the reference material 
	I have on S/SL is proprietary. (It's so simple however, that 
	little is required)

	The reference you want is:
		Cordy, J.R. and Holt, R.C. [1980] Specification of S/SL:
		Syntax/Semantic Language, Computer Systems Research Institute,
		University of Toronto.

	The address is:
		CSRI, University of Toronto
		Sanford Fleming Building,
		10 King's College,
		52S-1A4
