While it's called "Pee el one" it's rendered PL/I. So the title is wrong; the article has it correct. Please fix it! See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PL/I https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PL/I

- Polizeiposaune 1y agoIn the context of Multics it was generally spelled "PL/1" rather than "PL/I" (the latter being IBM usage); source files named xxx.pl1, compiled with the "pl1" command. See for instance https://www.multicians.org/pl1-raf.html https://www.multicians.org/pl1-raf.html
