I have students working on an APL -> C translator (or compiler), which we
hope to eventually transform into an APL -> C* translator and thereby gain
parallelism on a CM or MassPar type system.  This is a masters project,
and not ready for release yet.  If and when it does become more stable, it
will probably be relased by anonymous ftp, but don't expect anything before
the end of the academic year.  (This is a successor to the compiler
described in my book, AN APL Compiler, and the code is considerably better 
than described there).
