RE: FYI - Press Inquiry: AS/400 Tenth Anniversary.

[Walden Leverich <walden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don,

It's not gone (PL/I) it's just not an LPP anymore. If you want it you
can ask IBM for it and they will be more than happy to provide it to you
(for a price). By taking it off the LPP list all IBM did was remove
their requirement to translate the documentation in to the 39 (or so)
different national languages. It's only available in English now.

-Walden

PS. I'm not sure about Basic's status, but who cares, it's basic.

10  print "hello"
20  goto 10

As of V4r2 you have lost the best language out there...PL/I (or the

implementation of the best language out there....).  ...ditto for
BASIC...
