I'm almost 100% sure that IBM has no APL2 for a PC/AT. The reason I say this is
that when I was working there, I got hooked on APL2, and would have killed for
a PC version of it. I did a fair amount of investigation, and the responses I
got were of the sort: "APL2 for the AT? Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha...etc.
you must be kidding". My general experience is that people writing these sorts
of things don't think that anything less than a 3081 is a real machine. It's
just luck that these things run on a 4341.
