BUGS This program has not been extensively used or tested. from vers 6 apl man page: ------------------------- Apl is an interpreter for the language APL described in the reference. The interpreter maintains its workspace on disk rather than in core. This has two consequences: There is the possibility of a 16 million byte workspace; it takes a week to access that much data. Not Implemented (never) . . . Under Implemented (later) . . . Over Implemented (over zealous) . . . BUGS There do appear to be bugs in apl, although what they are is not clear. This documentation is most definite- ly out of date.
