The US distributor for MicroAPL's APL.68000 is

	Spencer Organization, Inc.
	PO Box 248
	Westwood, NJ 07675
	(201) 666-6011

I just got mine the other day.  Watch it though, they tag on 4% for
using a credit card and I don't believe they told me about it when I
ordered.   They used to sell for a coupla bucks (a give-away at APL-87
in Dallas this past spring/summer) a demo disk which was pretty much
the same as the distribution disk sans workspace/function saving to disk.

MicroAPL is a company located in the heart of London, England.  APL.68000
is version level 6 and thus is quite stable.   An APL2 is in the works
according to Bill Spencer.

I'm just re-learning APL on my Amiga but I'd sure like to hear from others
and their experiences.


Happy Holidays folks!
