For that matter, anyone reading this newsgroup.

Maybe I missed something. It appears to me one needs to follow the "Buy online" link from that page to find a page with any mention of support for OS/2 or any pricing information. When I followed the "Buy online" link, I noticed only one item selling for $475 and that was not PL/I -- rather it was a PL/I upgrade to V2.1 requiring the purchaser to have V2.0 already. The only full PL/I product I found on that page lists for $2,849 USD. On the other hand, that page does state that VisualAge PL/I Enterprise is available on both OS/2 and Windows NT. Perhaps I'm using the wrong URL's? Bob Lidral l i d r a l at a l u m dot m i t dot e d u

Mark Yudki #3 / 3	OS/2 PL/I is available No, you are correct (and Robin is wrong). A legally licensed version of VA PL/I for Windows and OS/2 costs about that much.
