Dear PL/1 followers,

This is the fifth code drop of the GCC front-end for the PL/1 programming 
language.

PL/1 for GCC is released under the terms of the GNU Public License; version 2.

Changed in pl1gcc v0.0.5:
	- Recognition of multiple scope closure with one END
	- Fix for nested expressions

Just to summarize. The pl1gcc project is an attempt to create a native
PL/1 compiler using the GNU Compiler Collection. The project is looking
for more people to join the development or testing. If you have any spare
time, please do contact us.

The project started up with a simple standalone scanner and parser, that
subsequently got integrated into the GCC build system by using the sample
language Treelang as a starting point. Current development concentrates
around the infrastructure necessary to recognize and support pl/1 and to
prepare for the actual code generation.
With version 0.0.5 one of the more exotic features of pl/1 has been 
implemented:
	The closure of multiple scopes with just one END.
