I believe that SDL stands for Symbol Definition Language.  As its name implies
it is a language used to create symbol definitions.  In fact it can generate
definitions for Macro-32, Bliss, Basic, Fortran, and Pascal that I know of
for sure.  I suspect it should be able to do PL1 since it is a written in
PL1.  SDL is included in the source distribution kit.  The SDLNPARSE is used
to generate include files from an intermediate point, where SDL generates
from a source file.
