Subject: Re: PL/I question
You claimed that a lot of things came from FORTRAN that don'r look remotely
like FORTRAN syntax,
Name them.
some of which look like Algol 60. A good example is the DO statement,
which looks a lot more like an Algol for statement than a FORTRAN DO.
Try
DO 10 K = 1, 10 -> DO K = 1 TO 10;
DO 10 K = 1, 10, 2 -> DO K = 1 TO 10 BY 2;
Some of what you claimed came from FORTRAN doesn't even exist in PL/I.
Name them.
