[net.lang.apl] APL on UNIX

ljdickey@watmath.UUCP (Lee Dickey) (06/30/83)

I am interested in knowing more about APL's that are
available on UNIX systems, and with problems that people
are having with moving workspaces from one APL interpreter
to another.   Any experience there?

Is anyone involved with standards work?

I just received this:

	Have you seen Dyalog APL from Dyadic Systems (Farnborough,
	England).  It has the extensions and many more.  I evaluated
	all the APL interpreters on th market for UNIX about 6-8 
	months ago and we eventually chose this one.

STSC is coming out with an APL written mostly in C.  I know there is
another APL for the 68000 chip, but frankly forgot the name.

I'll to know more about the Dyalog APL - features, interface (files,
system commands, etc.d) with UNIX, and portability to UNIX machines.
