	Has anyone had experience using APL on the Ridge 32?  I have
	looked at a manual for Dyalog(?) APL and it seems quite good.
	It even includes several useful extensions to the language.
	I would be very interested in hearing of experiences with this
	product.

	I have had extensive experience with the UNIX APL interpreter
	(originally written at Purdue and modified significantly by
	Robert Elz at Melbourne).  We have it running on a VAX, Unison,
	and Interdata under 4.2.  Has anyone tried to port it to a
	Ridge?  I had an earlier version of UNIX APL at home in Oberlin
	but the Ridge C compiler objected to data type statements and
	complained about "old fashioned" operators.
