Subject: PD APL (or copyrighted for public use)

I think that you might be able to take part in the International APL
project.  This is a public domain APL which is being ported to a bunch
of different machines.  I-APL has a sort of FORTH-like kernel, with
the rest of the language built up from there.  It is designed for
rapid porting, rather than rapid computation.  Version 1 was designed
around the 16-bit address bus machine architecture, version 2 is
designed around the 32-bit address bus architecture.

The interpreter was written by a man named Paul Chapman.  If you had
been at the SIG-APL conference of the ACM (last week, in New York),
you could have talked to him (and lots of other people involved in
this or similar projects).  The best address I have for him is:

			      IAPL Ltd.,
			  2, Blenheim Road,
			     St. Albans,
			    Hertfordshire
			      AL1 4NR UK

You would probably want to address the project, rather than Paul
Champman, as I don't think he is directly in charge of ports to other
machines.

Hope this helps
