Thanks to the people who mailed me responses concerning apl under 4.2
unix.  Since that news submission, our department has received the
4.2 distribution tapes, and I fished the apl out of them.  It turns
out that it is indeed Tony Reeves and John Bruner's purdue apl with
only slight modifications.  The 'asgn to label' problem I was
having was a bug that does not manifest itself on 4.1 systems.
The other changes involved the editor that is gotten in response
to ")editf" and ")del" and the location of the system library.

The apl that is distributed with 4.2 unix compiles and works on
4.1c unix systems.  Actually, I have not tried it on a 4.2 system
yet.
