  I have the CP/M version of PL/I (subset G) and actually used it the
other day. Picture this: The hardware is a 386 box, running UNIX. Under
UNIX I am running a DOS emulator called VP/ix. Under the DOS emulator I
am running a CP/M emulator. I compile the target program and run it in
the emulated CP/M environment. The program being run was an *Apple ][
simulator*. 

The emulation chain looks like this:

hardware	386	8088	8080	6502
software o/s	UNIX	MS-DOS	CP/M	AppleROM

Note that the program ran faster under all the emulation than on the
original Apple ][ !!
