I think that's unfortunate, but APL is STSC's main product, so I wouldn't
assume that this is a reflection of their assessment of the APL market in
general.  Right now STSC is heavily involved in its APL products for
MS-DOS and its UNIX-based APL.  They may not want to spread themselves too 
thinly.

Any comments from someone at STSC?
