I am not a driver person. Far from. But as I understand it then there

documentation for C about what you can use of C without breaking

documentation or in the VMS documentation or in a book for PL/I ?

Even if the docs does not exist then you may still be able to
write a driver in PL/I because you know what it does, but that
does not cut it as supported.

If there is a SDL description of the interface, then it should be easy,
otherwise translating a C prototype to PL/I is trivial.

I don't think writing a driver is so much a matter of using or
providing an API.
