As was my understanding.  Is Prime MI *EQ W-code, or is there a HLA
(Hi-Level Assembler) like OPM MI PL/Mi and/or whatever that doesn't force
the compiler UI team to deal with register-level hardware op codes and
syncing??  Do you, or anybody know, that's allowed to say anything here??

Uhhh.  Am I reading that correctly?  That even if you DID have the money
then IBM might choose Not to sell the compiler (and/or along with providing
on-going maintenance, upgrades/enhancements, and at least some PMR
support)???
