Anyone tried APL in VMS? I just bought it for our VAX-Station 3100, and if there are any users out there, drop me a line. I was wondering if under X-Windows, I could get the APL character set without a real APL terminal. Also, I wondered how good the product is... Ed Mills Harris Semiconductor Melbourne, FL 32901

If you want any mail about it you will have to send me a bang path, my mailer doesn't like .UUCP domain... -- stripes@wam.umd.edu Disclaimer: Josh_Osborne@Real_World,The I no longer work for STSC, but "The dyslexic porgramer" still like (most) of their stuff

This is from the 1989/90 DECUS Library Software Catalog: V00031 APL for VAX/VMS from SCI Version V3.0, Feb. 1983 Submitted by: Mike Liveright, Systems Control Technology, Palo Alto, CA Operating System: VAX/VMS V3.0 Source Language: FORTRAN 77 Keywords: APL, Language Interpreters Abstract: SCI APL is an interpreter for the "A Programming Language". APL is a mathematically structured programming interactive language that contains many functions that operate on numbers, vectors, and arrays of arbitrary order. APL has been applied both to scientific and business applications. SCI APL supports both the standard "ASCII" type terminals as well as those terminals that have the special "APL" character set and can process the "overstrike" required for true APL terminals. Notes: This is a relatively complete, partial implementation of APL. Thus there are some functions missing, and some bugs. In general, most of the important functions are implemented and the bugs seem to be minor. Media (service Charge Code): 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: VAX/ANSI, or order VL0002 -------------------------------------- Can anyone out there in netland comment on the quality of this (basically) free implementation? The Media costs are approx. $35. I was just wondering what "relatively complete, partial implementation" means...... -------- Dept. of Computer Science | Rajeev "Raju" Pandey Computer Science Bldg. 100 | Oregon State University | Internet: rpandey@cs.orst.edu Corvallis, OR 97331-3902 | UUCP: tektronix!orstcs!rpandey (503) 754-3273 U.S.A. | UUCP: hplabs!hp-pcd!orstcs!rpandey
