I have been supporting a commercial system in
IPSA APL/PC ever since IPSA and I parted company.
It is slower than STSC, but it is NOT unuseably
slow. It is not only plenty fast enough for
educational purposes, it is fast enough for
most serious applications.  The main reason I
use STSC APL is for compatability with other
APL users. (There are several other good reasons
for not using Sharp: it won't run on a PCjr; it
doesn't ring the bell unless you use AP440 (the
music AP, included), it requires APs for full-
screen and serial port applications (included),
it's BIG [whoever could need more than 640K?-
anonymous IBM/Microsoft ijjit], and they're not
likely to support it much now they don't sell it)
    Recommended. You won't see such a bargain
until the 50cent desktop Cray.
