**********************************************************************
*********************** CONFIGURING YOUR SYSTEM ********************
**********************************************************************
If you want to program only in PL/I and do not need the relocating
assembler RASM-86, we suggest the following configuration:
o DISK #1 The compiler root (PLI.CMD) and overlays (PLI0.OVR,
PLI1.OVR, PLI2.OVR)
o DISK #2 The linker (LINK86.CMD) and the Run-time Subroutine
Library (PLILIB.L86)
This is only a suggestion. You can configure your system to suit your
individual needs.

**************************** PROBLEMS ******************************
**********************************************************************
We call your attention to the enclosed Software Performance Report
(SPR). Should you encounter a problem with the software, please use
the SPR, and enclose a listing of the source code, the compilation,
and/or the run-time output for the smallest test case that generates
the problem.
We also call your attention to the Reader Comment Form in the back of
each of the manuals in the documentation set. Please let us know of
any errors, or omissions in the documentation so we incorporate them
into subsequent printings.
Thank you for purchasing PL/I-86. We are sure you will find it the
most powerful and sophisticated programming language you've ever used.
