APL for the Mac

[da...@safari.uucp]

A friend of mine would be interested in obtaining either public-domain
or commercially available APL for a Mac Plus. A phone number or address
of a vendor would be greatly appreciated. Comments, opinions, or experiences
with APL on the Mac would also be welcome.

Thank you in advance. ...!tektronix!reed!omen!bucket!safari!dave

I know of three different APL interpreters for the Mac.

APL.68000 (Spencer Organization, 201 666-6011)
PortaAPL (Cambridge Mass)
APL 90

Of the three, APL.68000 is the most mature. It was the first APL
for any machine using a Motorola 68000 chip, and it was de-bugged
before the Mac came along. Watch for a review in March 87 issue of
APL Quote Quad. There is a review of APL 90 in the December issue
of Quote Quad written by Fred Gross.

Fred says that he is willing to distribute APL90 shareware.
