Hello Dave: Thanks for the info on this, PL/1 has been, for myself at least, an extremely flexible and robust language on OS/390 and Z/OS and it's good to know there's yet another option for coding on machines running LINUX.
At one time, IBM had a version of the PL/1 compiler for MVS that had some debugging tools embedded in it for. I don't know if this party has planned any debugging tools to go along with it, and I'm not sure if IBM has plans to port their current PL/1 debugger to this platform. I'll check with our development to see if in the future we may plan to support debugging PL/1 on this platform (already do on OS/390)...we do see a lot of PL/1 users out there... Thanks again for sharing the information. Regards, Glenn -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Boyes Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 9:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Progress on PL/1 for Linux Looks like someone has picked up the effort to build a PL/1 stage 1 for the gcc family (like the gf77 Fortran compiler, this project uses a stage 1 parser to produce intermediate code for the gcc stage2 code generator and stage3 optimizer). I've pulled the code down and verified that it builds on Linux for 390 (Debian and SuSE), but not being a PL/1 wonk, dunno much more about testing it. It's also not clear whether they've implemented any of the PL/1 extended syntax. http://pl1gcc.sourceforge.net/ -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
