 		Dan Pernokis, BSc
 President

Dan Pernokis is a software developer, programmer, and web designer – with a diverse background in business, government, and academic applications.  Dan's expertise has been applied to natural resources management, point-of-sale systems, the hospitality industry (reservations & property management), on-line banking, payroll & human resources, developing ANSI language standards – and even to space research, science fairs, and Mozilla projects.  He is versed in business information needs of both large and small enterprises.  Dan holds a BSc from the University of Toronto and he has more than 45 years of experience in various aspects of information technology.

Dan was a member of X3J15, the technical committee that developed the ANSI Standard for the Programming Language PL/B (formerly known as DATABUS).



ANSI Language Standards
  • Information Technology – Programming Language – PL/B.  1994.
    ANSI INCITS 238-1994 (R1999)  (formerly ANSI X3.238-1994 (R1999)). 
    [ Available here:  www.ANSI.org ]

    This ANSI standard specifies the form and establishes the interpretation of programs written in the PL/B Programming Language (formerly known as DATABUS).  The standard is designed to promote portability of PL/B programs among a variety of data processing systems and environments.  It is intended for use by implementers.  Dan was a member of X3J15 (the ANSI technical committee that developed the standard) and is a co-author of the resulting publication.
