>> Absolutely - I'm still waiting for PL/I modules...

I hope you are not holding your breath!  Ain't no way that's going to
happen.

And Don - I know it wasn't you but I'm suspicious that you may have an
alias! <grin>

There were so few licenses sold of PL/I (and almost none to companies that
weren't software vendors) - even if it was a better subset IBM would only
have sold another half dozen copies or so.  There is no way that the porting
expense could be justified.  I suspect the mainframe version written in PL/X
and not even in the W-code family.  Either of those factors would
substantially increase the port cost.
