The first commercial APL product was APL\360, released by IBM and
running on the IBM 360 computers.  The back of the APL\360 manual
describes a number of useful APL functions supplied in a workspace
with APL\360, including execution times.

Does anyone know what system these examples were run on?  I am
interested because when I timed the same functions on APL.68000
on my Amiga, they ran roughly twice as fast.
