Yes it is the Spencer Groups APL. My brother has it. It is an 
extremely good apl in and of itself, comes with a well-written manual,
works fine with expansion memory (we have run it with 5 meg) and 
is VERY fast. In addition the integration with the amiga is extremely
good, with sound, gadgets, menus, file io, windows, screens ...
They did a hell of a nice job, leaving me wondering just what went 
wrong with Amiga Basic, now in its third year and still a piece of s**t. 
   I really recommend this APL very highly. A good APL, and a 
GOOD amiga program, and a good, fast interpretive language.
