Try using either txl  or sorcerer to help you write it. Sorcerer was
deveopped by Terence Parr (ask comp.compilers.tools.pccts for help in
using sorcerer or pccts). It looks like txl may be ok too. I just
d/l'd the unix files and using djgpp they compiled/linked. Either tool
would make writing a translator easier than by the usual manual
methods.
