Yes.  I've been trying for the last couple months to get APL on my
3B1!  FIRST time, someone said they'd send it to me on two or three floppies.
SECOND time, there was a complied version that "might work with some hacking".
THIRD time, I got a call from someone who would send the thing in a week
or so.  ALL THREE OF THESE OFFERS DISAPPEARED!  Were they the same person?
Is this a conspiracy?  What have I done?  I'll bet IBM is attacking AT&T
subversively by trying to keep APL off UNIX PCs and minis!  Diabolical.
If ANYONE out there has managed to pry a copy of C-source for APL away from
one of these IBM subversives, PLEASE be kind to a former APL "guru" and
former IBM employee and spirit a copy my way.
