No particulaI: machine imple- mentation of FORTRAN or PL/I has been assumed. Part 1 gives a broad survey of PLjI. A sample pro- gram illustrating some of the principal features of the language is explained siep by siep. Part 2 gives sufficient detail for the user to be able to write a straightforward program for himself. It is not a rigorous exposition. Examples have been used to clarify the text. The terminology used is intended to be that which is familiar to a FORTRAN user.

Where references to COBOL or ALGOL will help readers who know these languages, the reference is made, but the explanation is also given in full for those \vho do not. This guide does not attempt to cover all the features of the language. Many facilities have not been men- tioned at all, and some of the statements and features have not been explained in full detail.
