Dictionary APL refers to the advanced APL dialect based on Ken Iverson's "APL Dictionary". This dictionary was published in the ACM/SIGAPL APL Quote Quad. The other major advanced dialect is Jim Brown's APL2.

Dictionary APL and APL2 sound interesting. I've only used what I've heard refered to as "standard" APL. Where can I (cheaply) get more information on these two advanced dialects? Are there public-domain implementations of them available anywhere? -- Doug.deJ
