- I agree, it sounds like there should be a "PL/S Appplication
- Programmer Reference" manual which, like my set of Diagnosis manuals,
- are optional, extra cost, and "restricted materials". IBM could
- include the disclaimer that availability of this manual does not
- imply the availability of any compiler, nor any statement of direction,
- applicability, or continuance of PL/S.
