> If customer applications were written in it, did this mean they actually shipped PL.8 development tools to customers? Access to the compiler was by special request, as was the source code for the project. It wasn't something generally available, but for this specific project, and there was someone whose job it was to make certain I didn't copy anything or so on. I have no reason to believe the interbank software was normal for IBM in any way, shape or form. I do have a suspicion as to why PL.8 was used instead of another language, and it does make a little bit of sense, but I'm afraid I don't believe that I'm currently allowed to reveal that. I've given what details I currently can.
