qtree.sty will do what you want, I think. In fact, I use it for my English Syntax course, and I'm very happy with it. There are many others, though. You might check out the following links:

BTW, most tree-drawing macros won't work with pdflatex. In the case of qtree, you can comment out the reference to eepic.sty to make things pdflatex-compatible. The trees won't look as good as with LaTeX + eepic, but the result is definitely legible.
Hope this helps,
Joe

I had forgotten about those resources. That was great. I found a link to Greg Lee's "tree" preprocessor which does what I want and is based on Chris Barker's program of the same name which is what I recall using in the mid '80s. In did the "examples" in the documentation have some from me.
