(0.8b was never publicly released).
This version adds the ADD, MULTIPLY, DIVIDE, and HEXIMAGE builtins,
and allows the single-argument forms of HBOUND. LBOUND, and DIM.
CURRENTSTORAGE works correctly for unaligned bit strings and
adjustable arrays and structures.
Static unaligned bit string array and structure members
can now have the INITIAL attribute.
This version fixes a bug that prevented generation of ELF output.

and subscripted label constants are supported.
ELF object files can now optionally be generated in addition
to the standard OMF.

The following builtin functions are now available: BOOL, COS,
COSD, LOG, LOG10, LOG2, SIN, SIND, SQRT, TAN, and TAND.
The UNION attribute was implemented.

05 Feb, 2009: Do not use 0.7a.
A severe bug has just surfaced in PL/I version 0.7a.
Floating-point divide was not working correctly with the new code generator.
Unfortunately this is a "HIPER" bug affecting FIXED DECIMAL scaling,
exponentiation and other functionality.
Version 0.7b will be available shortly with the fix for this problem and
various other fixes and enhancements.
