I would like to know!  It was shown and shared at the conference APL 87
held in Dallas, but only for the Mac.

Someone present at the conference said that APL-90 had been run on an
Atari ST under a Mac emulator.

I imagine that this could be true, because there are Mac emulators for
the ST.  One of the all software (Bongo) (illegal?) and the other with
licensed rams (Magic Sac).  The same source, (enthusiastic, and usually
reliable) said that some work was going on to port APL90 to the Atari ST.

I do not think that this product would pry me away from APL.68000,
because of the speed and reliability posessed by APL.68000.
