| In today's IBM announcement letters, there are a couple of snippets
that are of particular interest to PL/I users.

Also, in that same letter are some 'preview announcments'...
>XML Enterprise Services PL/I technology preview
>
> This technology preview provides support for generating WSDL
> and PL/I adapters from PL/I source and includes supporting SOA
> based Web services integration to CICS and IMS-based PL/I
> processing.

In particular, I hope this completely clarifies the situation of a PL/I
compiler for Windows that has raged here and elsewhere.
