PL/I Files from VM Workshop Tools Tapes

The Tools are stored as VMARC archive files with a Read-me and List file for each VMARC package. After receiving a VMARC file it must be reformatted a little before the VMARC command can unpack it: PIPE < filename VMARC filemode | FBLOCK 80 00 | > filename VMARC filemode F 80

PL/CT

George Shedlock, Jr. now maintains a "VM Workshop Virtual Archive", which he intends will contain the contents of all VM Workshop Tools Tapes, the Waterloo VM Mods tape, and other useful goodies for VM. Currently this archive is the only place where the PL/CT compiler is available.
This version is known to run under VM/370, VM/ESA 4.2, and z/VM 4.1. It should run with most other VM releases.
To obtain PL/CT from George's archive, click here. [VMARC file, 203k].
A text version of the PL/C Users' Guide is included with the package. An HTMLized version can be found here.
The source for PL/C (any version) is being sought. If you know the location of the PL/C source, please contact me.

SWIFT95 AVLTREE PL/I routines for building and maintaining "balanced" binary trees of pointers to arbitrary data structures

PCR very powerful PL/I development tool and interface for implementing CMS commands, REXX external function packages, immediate commands, and subcommand environments using standard PL/I. Also supports loading of user and PL/I library routines into nucleus for very fast invocation.

PLIFORM Very nice, "user-programmable" PL/I source code formatted; table driven to support multiple styles. For VM and OS/2

PLITOOLS collection of powerful PL/I to VM functions interface routines. Includes direct native file i/o to files on minidisk, access to REXX variables in any currently active environment, XEDIT macros written in PL/I (*very fast*) and much more. Also includes the REXX 'PARSE' statement as a PL/I macro preprocessor -- now use PARSE in PL/I code.
