Greetings!

	This is about the third time in as many weeks that I have posted
to this group, so take heart, this may be the last!

	My Master's thesis involves resurrecting a content analysis system
known as WORDS, developed at Univ. of Rochester in the 1960's.  It is written
in PL/I.  One of my committee members wants to see the system ported to
the Unix* environment as this would make it more widely usable.  I agree,
except that I don't want to read and translate by hand 34 programs in PL/I
to C.  What I need is a translator, and this committee member seems to
think that one (or more) exists in the public domain. True or False?

	Any pointers, hints, suggestions would be appreciated. Flames to
/dev/null.

	Respond by e-mail please.

	Harrison
