Joe> "Iverson passed away on Oct. 19 following a stroke while he was Joe> working on his computer. He was 83. " He must have been using a Joe> Windows PC! He should have stuck with APL. Joe> APL was my first computer language as well. I learned it form Joe> Iverson's book A Programming Language and finally got to try it Joe> out on an IBM 1130. I'll go for YEARs and not use APL and Joe> finally getting rid of all my APL books and stuff but I always Joe> find myself coming back to APL. There's a pretty good APL implementation that runs on Linux and Solaris, among others, called OpenAPL. It includes a tweaked xterm that handles the APL characters directly.
