I was just about to throw out my Fortran manuals, PL1 is gone to the great Mainframe in the sky, Cobol is too verbose but Rexx is still cool for searching and Wilbar is a form of punishment.... Edlin was much better. With all that aside, gone are the days when you could spend a week a hundred lines of code making them perfect. That is why main-frames are so reliable.
