MILLENIUM! It is (was) still going????????

I wrote the PDL compiler and run time system for that. The USA staff at 
the time (Dun and Bradstreet) said a compiler wouldn't work, or give 
performance gains. I proved them wrong. Nice installable shareable 
runtime, tight code...I had fun doing that in my spare time and making a 
nice bit of cash.
