                 introductory first course using FORTRAN and a second
                 course using PL/1 into a two-semester PL/1 sequence was
                 made. The initial rationale and motivation, including
                 an analysis of the potential audience and alternatives,
                 is discussed. An overview of the individual courses,
                 the distribution of topics, and our experience with the
                 two courses is given. A review of this three-year old
                 decision and another analysis of alternatives,
                 especially in the light of the trend towards PASCAL and
                 increasing emphasis on program verification, is made.
                 Our conclusion is based on language-independent factors
                 arising from our attitude towards programming and
                 certain larger curriculum issues and is that our PL/1
                 sequence should be retained.",
