I believe it is, more or less, older than C so shouldn't have C
dependencies. Also, the camera ready copy was printed on a 1403
printer, which should look familiar to OS/360 users.

Many years ago (about 33), just after my undergrad compiler course,I
had the idea of writing a PL/I compiler for VAX using the Gries book.
As usual, it would have been written in the language it compiled, so
it could compile itself. But I got distracted with other things over
the years.
