[Info-vax] Text processing examples with Fortran requested

[Michael Moroney]

Speaking of text manipulation, I'll ask this, though I know it's a real
shot in the dark.

Does anyone know of any tools to manipulate VAX Macro-32 code?  By 
"manipulate" I mean to find instructions with specific addressing modes
or do things like convert all word instructions whose destination is a
register to longword equivalent and find all MOVAx instructions whose base
is R7, all without being fooled by commented out lines, of course.

I know I'll have to write individual tools, and will have to learn
one of those text manipulation "languages", but I figure I'd ask anyway.

I have to deal with thousands of lines of the most gawdawful macro-32
code ever created.
