Oh, not at all. At least in the 80s, all of the nice things were separately

could get your hands on a copy, though, at no charge.

I think Pl/I was "free" before IBM unbundled software. I started in 1975
and we had the F level and Optimizing compiler. Most of our senior
programmers wrote in Assembler but my first year was all PL/I, Assembler
came later. We never used COBOL but had RPG and Mark IV. A couple of years
