Convert surveyor's calls in excel table to polygon shapefile

Do you know of a way to take surveyor's calls from an excel file (for example: N35-45-15W 60.0 ft, etc) and have them generate polygon shapefiles point by point in GIS? I know you can easily do this with point features that have coordinates, but I am trying to figure out how to build full polygons (without XY coordinate information, just surveyor's calls).
