Well, I now have a set of "." codes that work with my implementation of
APL\11 and I'm trying to get started doing something useful with it.
But, I seem to have run into yet another road block. Whenever I try to
run a user-defined function, the program hangs. I feel that the
problem must be in the way I am formating the source file. The manual
page is very unclear on this:
Function definition is not what you would expect. Functions
are loaded from files. The first line of the file is the
function header, as you would expect it but with no del.
The rest of the file is the lines of the function. Lines
are numbered, but there are no square brackets with line
numbers.
I've tried every format I can think of that is at all consistent with
the above description; no numbers, plain numbers, numbers with colons,
numbers with tabs, numbers without tabs, etc.
Could someone please post an example of how I am supposed to format a
function source file in APL\11?
Thank you.
