- Well if it were true, i.e. if it was the same language (which it isn't),
- then we all might be able to get access to the language specs, and
- documentation.
- However I am fairly sure that the PL/x languages for the Intel 8086
- are a completely different beast. I don't know about the language
- for the 3880 control units' processor.
