It works well enough to compile itself and its run-time library, but is missing many features not immediately required to achieve a working compiler. The "release notes" included in the package document some, but not all, of the current restrictions. The 1.0 release is expected to be roughly a "Subset G" compiler. Eventually the compiler will handle the full PL/I language plus extensions from other compilers. Following the OS/2 version a Linux version is planned. OS/2 programmers familiar with PL/I might be interested in experimenting with the current version. Subsequent major versions will be announced as they become available. -- For a choice in the future of personal computing, Join VOICE - http://www.os2voice.org [Moderator's note: All posts are sent without guarantee to the accuracy of the content.
