I'm ready to start coding in PL1 if anyone can find a working compiler....
PL1 (or PL/I as it was initially named), another of my past loves... If memory serves, IBM used to give away a Personal Edition of it, but this was many years ago. Maybe they have changed that policy. Otherwise, if you feel like shelling money, there are a few commercial compilers around. Look here : http://www.liant.com/products/pl1/
Those who are asking to themselves what PL/I is, please go to this page : http://www.engin.umd.umich.edu/CIS/course.des/cis400/pl1/pl1.html 73 Alberto I2PHD
