A version of DATABUS became an [[ANSI]] standard, and the name PL/B was adopted when Datapoint refused to release its [[trademark]] on the DATABUS name.

Much like Java and .NET, PL/B programs are compiled into an intermediate "object [[byte-code"]], which is then interpreted by a runtime library. Because of this, many PL/B programs can run on DOS, Unix, Linux, and Windows operating systems. The PL/B development environments are influenced by Java and Visual Basic, and offer many of the same features found in those languages. PL/B (Databus) is actively used all over the world, and has several forums on the Internet dedicated to supporting software developers.
