What's New?

Date	Description
8 Jul 2008	It has been brought to our attention that the definition of the TPU$INITIALIZE routine is incorrect. An updated copy of the definition can be found here. Once you have downloaded the file, the text library PLI$STARLET.TLB can be updated using a command similar to the following: $ LIBRARY/REPLACE SYS$LIBRARY:PLI$STARLET.TLB ddcu:[...]TPU$INITIALIZE.PLI Please note that this change will not effect existing code. This fix will be included in the next compiler release for both VAX and Alpha.
23 Jun 2008	Kednos has made a field test release of it's PL/I Run-Time Library to support executing translated OpenVMS Alpha PL/I images on OpenVMS I64. Click here to see the announcement. Click here to read the release notes and download a kit.
15 Mar 2008	Unfortunately when creating the current compiler kit the starlet library ended up with a faulty version of PLI_FILE_DISPLAY.PLI. You may obtain a correct copy at ftp://ftp.kednos.com/pub/axp/updates/pli_file_display.pli, and you should replace the one you have in your current pli$starlet.tlb with this one if you are having problems using DISPLAY. The next release of the compiler will remedy this problem
27 Jun 2007	Kednos has a new site. Bear with us while we iron out any wrinkles.
18 Apr 2007	PL/I on Itanium. OpenVMS Engineering has decided for unintelligible reasons to not provide Kednos with an update GEM compiler backend which supports Itanium. The one we currently use supports only Alpha. But there is hope. If you compile and link on Alpha you may use the AEST tool to create an Itanium executable. We provide the shared PL/I runtime library native on Itanium. We realize that this is a bit cumbersome, but, it gets you there. Complain to Mark Hurd.
18 Jan 2007	A new kit is available which resolves a number of outstanding issues for the Alpha compiler. Please refer to the release notes for more information.
