Workspaces are now available. (See "status.doc" to see whether your J version has workspaces.) The current internal representation follows WSIS (workspace interchange standard), meaning (a) except for contents of literal arrays, only ASCII 32-126 occurs in a workspace; and (b) it MAY be possible to transfer data arrays between J and other APL systems. The relevant functions are as follows. All function ranks are zero. x 2!:0 y WS Name Class 2!:1 y WS Name List [x] 2!:2 y WS Save [x] 2!:3 y WS PSave [x] 2!:4 y WS Copy [x] 2!:5 y WS PCopy x 2!:55 y WS Erase B 5!:3 y String (WSIS) Representation Roger Hui, Iversion Software Inc., (416) 925 6096.
