It's a bit obscure, but the manuals for TDI Modula-2/ST include Backus-Nuar
formats for the .symbol files.  Unfortunately, TDI has gone out of business
and I still use the package--I need to keep the manuals.

I suppose if nothing better comes up for you, tell me, and I'll photocopy the
relevant pages and I can send them to you.

Mike.
