Does anybody have a version of WEB that can handle describing a
program that is written in multiple languages?

I'd like to give "literate programming" a try, but the project I want
to try it out on is written partly in C and partly in PostScript, and
I think the new version (I'm rewriting it at least in part because
it's grown so complex that I can't maintain it or add features) may
include some Perl and perhaps an ad-hoc configuration file.  I'd like
to specify all of this in a single place, in expository order.

I brought over Spider WEB, but while it can be made to handle any of
these languages, it looks like it can only handle a single language at
a time.

Does what I'm looking for exist?

E-mail responses appreciated.

Thank you,
