For about two years now, I have written all my C programs using Silvio 
Levy's C version of Knuth's WEB system of structured documentation.  
Now, I have a new toy---to wit, a Mac II.  I also have Lightspeed C.
I would love to be able to run my existing WEB files on my Mac, in addition
to creating new ones.  I realize it might be possible to port tangle and 
weave from UNIX to my Mac, but the necessary modifications are way 
beyond my capabilities (I'm just a EE who wants to do some simulations).  
In addition, Levy's CWEB is full of bugs (e.g. the formatting is abysmal)
so I figure I might try to get a new version with hopes that it is better,
while saving myself some work in the meantime.

The question is, is there a C version of WEB for the Mac available?  If
it was a good translation of Knuth's WEB, I'd probably be willing to
fork over some of my company's cash for it (and others here would too,
I'm sure).  Anyone know of such a thing as I have described?


Thanks in advance,
