[antlr-interest] Is there a COBOL grammar in Antlr?

Folks,
 
I was just wondering if anyone is aware of a COBOL grammar in Antlr.  I found a post from a while ago (see below), have there been any changes?  GOLD's grammar is cool but it's about 950 rules to convert.  Is there an automatic way to convert from BNF to Antlr?
 
Thanks for any info.
- Dmitry

COBOL has a grammar??  If you have an LALR, you can find information
on LALR->LL conversion on the web, here:
[1] http://www.google.com/search?q=LALR+LL+conversion

which leads to a few (strangely, ANTLR-centric :-) web pages:
