Or does someone have a better suggestion? Who >else besides STSC makes APL for the PC-type machines? IBM kind of recently came out with APL2/PC. It's very nice, and I think it costs around $500. It includes user definable operators, generalized arrays, and almost everything else in APL2. You'll need a display adapter that can download fonts, or else be able to burn your own character set EPROM. --David Wine University of California at Los Angeles wine@cs.ucla.edu Computer Science Department (213) 825-6010 3531 Boelter Hall Los Angeles, CA 90024
