Open Source PL/I (Programming Language One) Software Development Software

XPL is a dialect of PL/1 documented in the book "A Compiler Generator" by McKeeman, Horning and Wortman, published by Prentice-Hall, 1970, ISBN 13-155077-2. In 1996 David E. Bodenstab ported the compiler to the Intel 486 running on FreeBSD Unix. In 2020 Daniel E. Weaver ported the compiler to Linux. As of November 2020 the Linux port runs on both Linux and the Apple MAC. However Apple has deprecated the 32 bit mode of the Intel processors. This XPL compiler is not compatible with 64 bit execution. Building this compiler requires the XPL to C translator written by Daniel Weaver which can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xpl-compiler/

This is a self compiling XPL compiler for the Modcomp III/IV and Classic. The XPL language is described in the book "A Compiler Generator" by McKeeman, Horning and Wortman. This project has two compilers. The first was written in the late 1970's and released to the Modcomp Users Group (MUSE). The second compiler is an extension of the first that includes a Common Sub-Expression optimizer. XPL was used to write the HAL/S compiler for NASA about the same time this XPL compiler was being developed but this is not the compiler used to create HAL/S. I am in need of technical documentation for the Modcomp Classic and the MAX IV operating system. Please let me know in the discussion section is you have documentation from Modular Computer Systems.

This Project Aims To Port Various Open Source Software Onto Stratus Open VOS Architecture. Please Refer The Following URLs For More Information On The Architecture. http://www.stratus.com http://www.openvos.com

Student Programming Language (SPL) compiles and executes programs written in a subset of PL/I. SPL was created by David B. Wortman in 1969 at Stanford University as a teaching tool for beginning programmers. In 1970 the compiler was modified by Robin A. Vowels at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology to be more compatible with the PL/I language. The compiler is written in XPL using an MSP parser. XPL is described in the book "A Compiler Generator" by McKeeman, Horning and Wortman.
