Remember a month or so ago when the first posting referring to the availability of J was made? There was a reference to a version for the NeXT. What happened to this? Is is freely available like the Mac version? (I didn't happen to see it at the only site I know of for the Mac). Can anyone point the way to this piece of software? I plan to buy a NeXT in the upcoming month. Thanks. dave watola, washington state university, pullman, hell. dwatola@eecs.wsu.edu dwatola@nextasy2.eecs.wsu.edu

When J is referred to as "freely available," does this mean that someone is releasing freely-available executables for various machines, or does it mean the source code is available? James Jones (curious about J from a comp.lang.misc posting, but using systems that it's not clear anyone in the generic PClone/Mac world would bother to port J to)

Today you can have executables for PC and Mac this way. Soon you should find others in the same area, representing systems at Waterloo with people and machines that are interested in J. We expect to have VAX BSD, NeXT, and MIPS versions before the end of the week. Maybe we will have more.
