    I would like to get *some* version of APL running on the
SUN 3/50 that I am using. The only  interpreter I am aware of 
is the STSC APL*PLUS. This carries a $3000.00 price tag, so 
even with a 50% educational discount, it is too steep for a
language that no one in this department except myself has ever
used - in fact only a few have even *heard* of APL. 
    Are there any other implementation of this language out
there? I doesn't have to be a *good* interpreter, just something
that works. I would like to dust off the old codes I once ran
on the UNIVAC 1190 mainframe, and see what they do on this 
machine.
