Here is a summary of the reponses to my request for info on a Public Domain APL. <empty list> That was it. Is there no hope for finding *ANY* APL interpretor in the public domain. I will post summary if there is one to post. EMAIL to jpainter@tjp.East.Sun.COM /Tjp -disclaimer <What me worry???> All opinions are the authors

I have just purchased a book on APL. The back page contains an
offer titled " Free APL is Easy! Disk ". If one sends $10 ( free !!!) to
STSC Inc of Rockville, they will send you this disk. It is not clear
whether it is just a disk of demo programs to go with the book, or if it
also contains an evaluation version ( ie cut down version ) of APL.
For those of you searching for a PD APL it might be worth contacting this
company. The phone number as printed in the book is (800)-592-0050.
Hope this helps.

I tried several times (via phone, letter, Certified letters, etc...) over a period of several months to get this demo software. The copy of the book I had had a publication date 3 months prior to the purchase date. STSC is the publisher, as well as the software vendor, so no excuses are exceptable. THEY SAID THAT THEY NO LONGER ACCEPTTED ORDERS FOR THE DEMO VERSION. EVERYONE SOULD CALL THE TOLL FREE NUMBER AND REQUEST THIS. OFTEN. <plasma system shutdown, flame off> This would not meet with my goal of porting APL to an array of transputers. (but then that was in the first posting) I really want source code to play with (any source code at this point) so I can translate it into 'C' (or C++ if I can get C++ up) /Tjp -disclaimer They burnt me ... They BURNT me ... TOAST EM NOW!!!! - sorry just worked up over this particular thing P.S. I bought the book soley to get the coupon to get the demo disk
