[comp.lang.misc] J for the Atari ST

		J, version 2.5, and other APL Software at Waterloo


Several implementations of J, version 2.5, are now available at the
file server "watserv1.waterloo.edu" (also known as 129.97.129.140) at
The University of Waterloo.   In the directory "languages/apl/J", ftp
users may find J for these systems:

	vax_bsd 4.3
	next
	sun4 (SPARC)
	sun386i
	mac
	pc
	atari_st

Among other APL software there, there are two APL fonts (or folios).
One, called "APL2741", is a postscript line font, derived from scanned
images from an ancient 2741 golfball terminal equiped with an APL
typing element.  The other is an X-windows font.

It is hoped that eventually there will be a mail server for the same
range of software to those who have e-mail access but not ftp access,
but a userid for this mail service has not been announced yet.

Currently, this service is being provided on an experimental basis, and
there are no promises that it will continue on a long term basis.  Nor
is there any warantee of serviceability or completeness of the software
distributed there.
