A friend of mine is looking for an introductory book on PL/M. His only experience with high level languages is with FORTRAN IV. He is finding the language manuals supplied by the manufacturer hard to read and learn from. I think he wants books that explain the features of the language with many examples (something like books on PASCAL, C etc). Is there any one with appropriate references? Thanks for your information.

#R:cwruecmp:-88200:haddock:13200005:000:463 haddock!johnl Jan 8 14:56:00 1984 If you need to learn PL/M, try A Guide to PL/M Programming for Microcomputer Applications by D. D. McCracken, Addison-Wesley, 1978. It tells you what you need to know and has lots of examples. It discusses both the language and application stuff like how you program interrupts and how you deal with ISIS, Intel's development monitor. My paperback copy cost about $10.

From: Jerry Sweet <jsweet@uci-750a> I believe that there is some introductory book on PL/M out there by Daniel McKracken. I don't know who publishes it, but I suspect that a call to your local Intel field office will provide a clue. -jns
