This is my third (annual) survey of APL users. (A) Which APL interpreter do you use? (B) On what hardware? (C) What operating system (if known)? Please use mail to respond. If you use more than one combination, please send the details about each. If you know of someone who uses APL but might not see or respond to these questions, will you answer for them? A summary of responses will be posted to "net.lang.apl" in about a month. Again, please respond by mail. If your mailer requires you to specify a path, some machines that might talk to "watmath" are: allegra decvax ihnp4 mgvax mks okstate plus5 utcsri utzoo

Here are the results of the Third Annual APL Users Survey. The questions asked were: (A) Which APL interpreter do you use? (B) On what hardware? (C) What operating system (if known)? The responses are summarized below, in the order of receipt, grouped in sets of five lines. The first line gives a path from my machine by which I might reach the respondent. The next three lines are the answers (edited) to the above three questions, and the fifth line is blank. In some instnces the respondent answered for more than one person, or for themselves more than once (if they use more than one system). If part of the answer was omitted, that is indicate with a ``-''. L. J.
