My recollection is that someone at Stanford wrote replacement modules for all the PL/I modules that did I/O so they would run under ORVYL. When someone created a TSO program that needed to run under ORVYL they would do a normal compile but change the link-edit to include the replacement modules. There were probably some ORVYL-specific functions, but I don't remember what they were.
I wrote some simple programs, but found that there wasn't anything I wanted to do that I couldn't do more easily in SPIRES. I don't know how widely the ORVYL version of PL/I was used, but it someone went to a lot of work to create it. -- Jack Hamilton Management Information & Analysis Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. 1950 Franklin Street, Oakland, California 94612 +1 510 987-1556 (KP tieline 8-427-1556) NOTE: This email document and attachments are covered by CA Evidence Code §1157 and CA Health and Safety Code §1370.
