Ken's stuff runs on the Sun, using the |APL fonts that he has also produced for the screens. I expect I'll get another bunch of email asking how to get this. I've got to stop this at the source... What Dickey often neglects to mention is that this APL\11 is a piece of AT&T code in the BSD distribution. It was originally written by Ken Thompson. It is a bare-bones APL having none of the modern features. And it has bugs too. I last ran it on SunOS 3.5. I have no idea what needs to be done to run it under 4.0. It has also been run on a Vax (BSD 4.3) and a Pyramid. The font thing is simply a screen font that you can specify to your shelltool (SunView) or xterm (X11). If you want this code, read this: You have to mail or fax me the first and last pages of your Unix SOURCE licence for V7 or later. Obviously you have to impose the same redistribution condition. You have to get it by ftp. Email only as a last resort; it's bulky. No tapes, diskettes or other physical media. No, I cannot provide context diffs; the changes are too extensive. No maintenance. You get the sources as is.
