>It is true.  STSC's first micro APL was for the Trash-80 model 100.

	I think you meant the TRS-80 Model III.  STSC has never listed
	a version for the Model-100 (the portable micro).

>They translated this to get the first version of their IBM PC implementation.

	Yes, but STSC APL*PLUS/PC  Version 5.0 is an amazing implementation.
	It is the best implementation of APL (from the user interface point
	of view) that I have ever used.

	Yes, you can get APL character ROMs for various PC and PC clone
	display boards.  I replaced the ROM in the IBM PC monochrome
	board.  The APL chars are quite nice and for the most part do not cause
	many problems when using other programs..

   customer.
