Any suggestions on the best texts, manuals, dialogs, libraries of APL,
APL2, J syntax and routines?  Are there good sources of PD APL, J
interpreters and routines?  I am especially interested in software for
SGI workstations.  I used APL long ago, ran into a regular user and now
hope to rediscover APL.

Are there any compilers for APL variants?  If not what makes a compiler
for APL so difficult?  With the almost advent of Fortran 90 is anyone
considering these compiler designs with respect to APL designs?

Thanks,
