PL/I-80

PL/I by Digital Research implements the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Subset G language defined especially for minicomputers. Subset G includes all necessary features of full PL/I for commercial and scientific applications. PL/I generates relocatable code so users can link-load subroutines created by other language translators. The package includes a language linker which can create overlays in either tree or segmented structure. The run-time library contains over 300 individual subroutines but only those used are loaded. Features include block structured, procedure oriented design, extensive control structures, support for multi-user systems, dynamic memory allocation, comprehensive input and output, and standardized exception processing. Supports sequential and random file I/O with multiple data types.\n\nOriginal retail price: $550 (Westico Professional CP/M Software Catalog for ADAM, 1984)
