Does anyone know of an version of APL for the Sun? I used to know of PD version written in FORTRAN for the VAX, but have lost track of it. Any hints will be greatly appreciated. DL

Performance is great. It would be REALLY nice if they could integrate features of the Sunview environment (mouse, cut and paste, resizable windows, etc) and release a version that really works with OpenWindows. -- .../Paul Maclauchlan Moore Corporation Limited, Toronto, Ontario (416) 364-2600 paul@moore.com -or- {...!uunet,...!telly}!moore!paul "...while the radio plays, Roy Orbison's singing for the lonely, Hey, that's me, and I want you only."/BS'74

My group, I-APL, is working on an APL for Suns. We will distribute source
code. There are also commercial APLs for Suns from STSC and Dyadic.
Morgan-Stanley has a proprietary APL running 2G workspaces on Sun 4s.
Ken Iverson plans to distribute a new APL dialect called J at APL90 in
August. PC and Mac versions will be first, and Sun should follow. Contact
Iverson Software, Inc., 416/925-6096. They use IPSAnet's APL Mailbox and
are not on here. J is free for copying, is written in C, and uses ASCII
only. Here is one example.
