Actually, "Control Program for Microcomputers" (CP/M) was created to serve
as an O/S base for "Programming Language for Microcomputers" (PL/M).
[ Where PL/M is a subset of PL/I - not "close to full implementation" ].

However, CP/M became popular in its own right as a stand-alone operating
system.

So the thought of running PL/M on CP/M isn't as far fetched as one would think.
