Prime Computer to serve as their second primaryoperating system programming language after Fortran IV.Additions to the
PRIMOS operating system forPrime 50 Seriescomputer s was written mostly in PL/P in later years. Certain PRIMOS modules written during PRIMOS's early years in Fortran IV were rewritten in PL/P.
