When I worded at EDS, I used PLI allot, at the time, most of the software
we written for the GM account was in PLI, I thought it was a really neat
and powerfull language, and I liked programming in it, the problem is 
that it does not have modern stuff in it like user defined data types 
for a starter, at least in the DEC subset that we used. 

any way, back to the main topic at hand..
