Unless there is a high Quality Java interpreter for TPF that creates instances that are reused, I would not consider JAVA for that environment. Also does Java handle efficiently all data types used by Assembler programs for that environment including bit switches and packed decimal? I consider it a shame that COBOL is not available for that environment including upgrades to handle the 2002 standard USAGES including BIT, the various binary usages and floating point decimal. Does TPF support Ziip/Zaap processors? Does PL1 support TPF? Would metal C or a non-IBM C/C++ be suitable for TPF?
