The product and manual may be copied and distributed to anyone, within the limits of no modifications, no commercial purposes, etc., which are included in the copyright notice. To the best of my knowledge, to order you send a request to: APL Products IBM Santa Theresa, Dept. M46/B25T P O Box 49023 San Jose CA 95161-9023 You should probably indicate whether you want 3.5 or 5-1/4 floppy. The product does NOT include a language manual, but it is essentially a Quad_EC-using Package from the APL2PC product, with some fixup to allow a pseudo-SAVE, COPY, etc. The language manual is thus the mainframe Language Reference, with the PC restrictions (no complex numbers, no selective assignment (oh, well), and a few more things missing). Still, you cannot beat the price, and it shows the world the wonders of APL2.
