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.
