And in my experience Primes pl1/g Compiler did properly assume what a sane developer would want - well there was that one time I had to recompile the entire Pl1 part of our MR system and push it out to all 17 systems :-)

telnet em.prirun.com 8005 for the full PL/I compiler
Emacs is also installed on the first machine running rev 20 Primos, but not quite on the second running rev 23 Primos because I didn't have all the pieces.
Enjoy!
