- ---PL/I is still very much around.
-
- It's available on the PC (as IBM PL/I for OS/2, released 1994),
- and for the RS/6000 (under AIX, released September 1995), while
- Windows 95 and Windows NT versions are in beta test, due July.
- Liant's Open PL/I compiler is already available
- under Windows NT.
-
- PL/I is also available on many other platforms, including
- Data General Aviion, DEC Alpha etc, HP UX and of course,
- IBM mainframes.

- Check out the newsgroup comp.lang.pl1, and the FAQ (latest
- update on comp.lang.misc).
