I urge *ALL* netters to call and ask for this disk.  I tried several
times (via phone, letter, Certified letters, etc...) over a period of
several months to get this demo software.  The copy of the book I had
had a publication date 3 months prior to the purchase date.  STSC is the
publisher, as well as the software vendor, so no excuses are exceptable.

THEY SAID THAT THEY NO LONGER ACCEPTTED ORDERS FOR THE DEMO VERSION.

EVERYONE SOULD CALL THE TOLL FREE NUMBER AND REQUEST THIS.  OFTEN.



This would not meet with my goal of porting APL to an array of
transputers.  (but then that was in the first posting)  I really 
want source code to play with (any source code at this point) so
I can translate it into 'C' (or C++ if I can get C++ up)

-disclaimer They burnt me ... They BURNT me ... TOAST EM NOW!!!!
