[comp.lang.apl] High performance APL

ljdickey@water.UUCP (10/06/87)

I received a notice today saying that Spencer Organization has 
introduced a lower price for APL.68000; only $99, for the
APL that runs on the Apple Macintosh, the Atari ST, and the Commodore Amiga.

The announcement also says that the product is the fastest APL
in the micro environment, and that it alos offers a  *free*
Run-Time license for developers and users utilizing APL.68000 as
a development tool.

They also supply an IBM PC/AT version of APL.68000 called MultiAPL
that uses a coprocessor board based om the Motorola chip, together
with up to 4 Megabytes of RAM available for APL under PC-DOS, and
the also supply coprocessors with 68010 and 68020 chips clocked
at various speeds from 10 t0 20MHZ.

Has anyone seen or heard of a patch for STSC's APL*PLUS for the Macintosh
to make it work on the MacII ?  Ditto any news of an upgrade?  
I wrote to STSC but we've got a mail strike on......

They are currently testing a version they think might work on the MacII.
The person in charge is away this week, so I might get more info later.
I'll post when I hear. We have access to STSC inhouse mail.
