Sitting here in the middle of a field at a landrover event trying out my Vodafone 3G dongle... I was only happy while working for IBM using assembler. I would be unhappy using C as so far I have found it difficult. (That's probably old age however!!). If I had to use a high level language, which I did sometimes, I used PL/S - the S370's "own" high level language. It was close to PL/I but you could stick assembler routines in stream if you needed it. It also could produce assembler output. Sadly IBM has kept it as internal only. If you look at some of the code in later versions of VM you can see where PL/S was used to generate the assembler code due to things like label names etc. Andy
