PL/I is a powerful programming language suitable for a wide range of
problems. PL/I has been used to write operating systems and compilers,
simulations, real-time programs, mathematical software, spreadsheets,
GUI programs, and for general computing. PL/I is widely used on mainframes and midrange systems today, but since the demise of Digital Research, Inc. has not been readily available on personal computers. Iron Spring Software was founded with the intention of bringing the flexibility, reliability, and portability of PL/I to a wider market. For information contact us at info@iron-spring.com
The Old Iron Spring in Ballston Spa, NY, is one of the first of the famous mineral springs of Saratoga County to be developed. The nearby San Souci Hotel, built in 1804, was described as "the most elegant in the United States at that time." During the course of the Nineteenth Century the more numerous and better-known springs of Saratoga Springs eclipsed the Old Iron Spring, but it nevertheless continues running today as reliably as ever. Our logo is an image of the Old Iron Spring.
Ballston Spa, in the heart of New York's dynamic Tech Valley region, is approximately 150 miles from Suffern, at the southern end. PL/I was first conceived in meetings at the Motel-on-the-Mountain in Suffern in 1963. |
