Informed sources tell me that for Sharp APL running on the IBM PC:

(1) The emulator and session manager were written in 808x assembler code.
(2) The APL interpreter is ye olde 370 assembler code.
(3) The music AP was written in 808x assembler code, mostly to show an
       example of how to write an AP.
(4) All the other APs, the SVP, and the file system, were written in C.

Did you know that you got a 370 emulator with the package?
The APL is the same as on the production system.
A bargain at twice the price.
