I have been supporting a commercial system in
IPSA APL/PC ever since IPSA and I parted company.
It is slower than STSC, but it is NOT unuseably
slow. It is not only plenty fast enough for
educational purposes, it is fast enough for
most serious applications. The main reason I
use STSC APL is for compatability with other
APL users. (There are several other good reasons
for not using Sharp: it won't run on a PCjr; it
doesn't ring the bell unless you use AP440 (the
music AP, included), it requires APs for full-
screen and serial port applications (included),
it's BIG [whoever could need more than 640K?-
anonymous IBM/Microsoft ijjit], and they're not
likely to support it much now they don't sell it)
Recommended. You won't see such a bargain

Could some kind person who downloaded this package please put the file up for anonymous ftp? I have problems with uudecode at my end and therefore can't use the copy that was placed in this newsgroup recently. Neta Amit, who posted it, seems to have taken it off of the University of Minnesota computer (umn-cs.arpa) for anonymous ftp. If Neta Amit is reading this message, would he please put it back on umn-cs.arpa? Please don't respond by mail; this isn't my account. Thanks.

Is this true, or is it just better to use with EGA (but could run on CGA)? Thanks, Reid M. Pinchback -----------------
