Here are the results of "APL Survey 89". The questions asked were: (a) Which APL interpreter do you use? (h) On what Hardware? (o) What Operating system? (w) Have you used any version of the WorkSpace Interchange Standard? ( WSIS 0, WSIS 1 ) I have extracted the answers to each response and include here the names and at least one e-mail address that (I think) reaches that person from my site. I learned of APL-80 by Ramware for TRS 80. I am told that the phone is now disconnected. I wonder, who was the APLer who lived in Milford, NH? Here is a summary of the responses. --- === o === --- Jan Deleeuw <deleeuw@math.ucla.edu> APL.68000 Mac Mac No shallit@eleazar.Dartmouth.EDU (Jeffrey Shallit) Dyalog APL Sun 3/50 Unix No STSC APL Macintosh Mac operating system No sjk@astro.as.utexas.edu (Scot Kleinman) WATCOM APL Commodore Super-PET SP-9000 Super PET No Mike Widom <mw1l+@andrew.cmu.edu> STSC APL*PLUS/UNX Sun3 Unix Yes STSC APL*PLUS/UNX Microvax Unix Yes mjab@Think.COM (Michael Berry) SAX (aka Sharp APL/UX) SUN 3 workstation UNIX Yes, WSIS 0, and wrote a workspace to read WSIS 1 stu@hawk.ulowell.edu (Stu Smith) VAX-APL on an 8530 running VMS No Ken Yap <ken@cs.rochester.edu> APL\11 (Thompson) Sun-3s Unix (SunOS 3.5) No mckee@vu-vlsi.villanova.edu (Bruce McKee) STSC APL*PLUS, version 7.0 IBM PC-AT, EGA Adaptor DOS? ~ STSC UNX*APL on a SUN 3/60 OS version 3.5 ~ paul@moore.uucp (Paul Maclauchlan) STSC's APL PLUS UNIX Spectrix Series 30XL Xenix 3.0 (SCO) ~ APL*PLUS PC (v8.0) Compaq Deskpro 286's MSDOS 3.11 No "Udo Hafermann" <unido!infbs!infbsgr!hafer@uunet.UU.NET> APL.68000 Atari ST GEMDOS No APL.68000 Amiga Amiga Dos No roberts%garnet.Berkeley.EDU (Seth Roberts) APL-11 PDP-11/23 RSX No STSC's APL*PLUS PC IBM PC/AT DOS No uunet!fciva!dag (Daniel A.

Please excuse my ignorance, but who are STSC? Where do they live, and how do you get their interpreter. For the record, I use Hewlett Packard 3000 APL. It is a little old but works remarkably well. It only runs on a series III (+/- 1975 technology) since HP didn't migrate the special microcode assist. This interpreter has an interesting extension 'APLGOL' with loops and the like, I feel that it defeats the object of the exercise but perhaps it apeals to some. I also use a home-rolled pascal implimentation which is not very robust, but is good for trying new ideas - it runs on HP1000,HP3000, HP Pascal workstations and I am currently porting it to a Vectra PC. I have also played with a version that integrats APL and Lisp - a very powerful combination. Peter Brooks

STSC, Inc. 2115 E. Jefferson St. Rockville, MD USA 20852 (301) 984-5471 This company started life as the Scientific Time Sharing Company and in its early years shared code and developments with I.P.Sharp Associates. More recently both companies have gone their separate ways, and both have gone through changes in ownership. Now STSC is owned by its employees. They supply APLs for IBM equipment, for UN*X machines, and for the Macintosh. -- L. J.
