   I would like to see some indication of how IBM PL/I was "very   
   incompatible" with the ANSI version given that the ANSI spec was   
   derived from IBM's internal spec for the language.   
   [The ANSI standard is phenomenally hard to read because of all of the   
   formalisms.  I wouldn't be surprised if some of the differences were   
   due to misunderstandings about what all the formal goop actually   
   meant.  -John]
