Xinotech Research of Minneapolis sells a language independent structure
editor which supports multiple views of program/documentation/pseudo-code.
It is called the "Composer", and it supports a variety of programming and
a few specification languages (Ada, Cobol, Pascal, Modula-2, MSG, etc.)

The composer is loaded with nifty editing features, automatic indentation,
summary views, customized indentation schemes, full syntax checking, and
provides some fancy conversions (like Pascal --> Ada).  The composer also
runs on IBM-PC (and compatibles), Sun's, Apollo's, VAXes (VMS and Unix),
and some other machines which I can't remember.

If you're interrested, their address is,

        Xinotech Research, Inc.

        1313 Fifth Street SE
        Minneapolis, MN  55414
