A new dialect of APL called "J" has been developed by Iverson Software
Incorporated and was announced at APL90.  At the show, versions of J
for the IBM PC and for the Mac were distributed free.  There are also
versions for the VAX, MIPS, and Next available.  These latter three
are presently available on a limited basis from me.

J is an advanced dialect of APL.  It has boxed arrays, operators
that accept user defined functions, (true) user defined operators, and
complex numbers.  It uses the ASCII character set.
