[misc.wanted] APL for UNIX or XENIX wanted

storm@ambush.UUCP (Kim F. Storm) (08/24/87)

Are there any good APL systems available for UNIX or XENIX ?

Any information regarding APL systems under UNIX or XENIX is welcomed,
including recommendations and bad experiences with these systems.

Unless somebody sends me a copy of a list that has recently been posted on 
the net, I will summarize the answers I get (if any) and post them on
comp.lang.apl .

In article <462@ambush.UUCP> you write:

There is APL\11.  This is a usable, but not really a "good" apl.
You might write to "ken@rochester.uucp" about this.

APL.68000 has some versions that run under un*x, if the operating
system runs on a 68000 chips.  

But, there are two excellent products available:
one from I.P.Sharp Associates and the other from STSC.
The first is heavily influenced by Iverson's "Dictionary of APL"
(see the September 1987 issue of APL Quote Quad).  The second
is compatible with STSC's entire line of products.

Both of these were shown at APL87 in Dallas.
