Thanks to all for the PL/I advice, and yes, I do know they changed the name from 1 to I a long time ago,
The language has always been called PL/I, from IBM's first LRM C28-6571. (after, of course, from earlier temporary names such as NPL)
but I didn't much like that rename starting from when they did it. What was wrong with using a plain Arabic numeral? Then again I use the Roman numeral III for my full name since I am the third generation with that name (and my son is the IV'th). We are all sometimes a bit schizophrenic in our thinking. Anyway, thanks again to all for the gentle advice. Appreciated. Peter
