Any of you APL hotshots out there running IP SHARP APL on your in house
computer? Have you ever used library 6 WSTRANSFER ???
I'm having some problems transmitting workspaces from a SHARP APL system
on an IBM to an STSC APL system on an HP3000. To transfer the workspaces
I've been trying to use the workspace transfer facility in 6 WSTRANSFER.
The WSTRANSFER system itself booted up ok on the receiving machine, but
chokes when it starts processing workspaces.
If you have any experience with the SHARP APL Workspace Transfer utility
I would appreciate hearing from you.

I can think of these areas that you might cause problems: (1) File primitives differ from one APL to another. (2) Certain other primitives are not universal. (3) File naming conventions are not the same everywhere. You might have to dig into the code and replace the IPSharp file primitives with the corresponding STSC primitives on your machine and you might have to rename the workspace to save it on the HP3000. I am very much interested in WS interchange, and would like to know how you make out.
