PL65, like the better-known [Action], is a high-level ALGOL-derived language intended to produce high-performance code in a more readable format than [assembler]. The two languages share much in common in overall terms and even syntax and structure. The main difference is that PL65 includes a STRING type, something Action! lacked, but like Action!, PL65 also lacks a FLOAT type.

One unique feature of PL65 is that it includes two full-screen editors. The main editor is KED, and includes modern features like indentation support, search and replace, and block copy/paste. A second editor, the "micro editor", is included in the compiler program, allowing you to make minor changes without having to switch programs.

Here's a working disk image of PL65 for anyone who wants to try what must be the rarest of Atari 8-bit languages. To use it, boot with SpartaDOS (an X cart image in one of the emulators is a good development environment) then run PL65.COM and choose from the various menu options. SAMPLE.PRG is a useful example program to figure out some of the finer points of the language (there's no manual on the disk) and S.OBJ is the compiled source. Little or no third-party documentation exists and I don't have a manual. I have one in-depth magazine article (in 8:16, BaPAUG's magazine, written by Simon Trew). The package consists of a compiler, editor, library and a sample game.
