There are two commercial products...

	SAX (Sharp APL for un*X)
		Developed by I.P.Sharp Associates, Palo Alto.
		The first "dictionary APL".

	STSC APL*PLUS/UNX	
		Another APL product from STSC of Rockville, MD.
		Compatible with their famous APL*PLUS/PC.

There is also:

	APL\11  Revised by Ken Yap <ken@rochester.uucp> to run
		on the SUN.  UNIX license required.  Derived
		from product by Bruner & Reeves of Purdue,
		years ago.  Includes character set for SUN.

	A	This one is not for sale.  It was developed by 
		Arthur Whitney at Morgan Stanley of New York.
		(Rumor: name changed to Z.)

	J	(Project title: J) Now under development by
		Ken Iverson and Roger Hui.  Scheduled for debut and
		free distribution at APL 90 in August.  Releases
		for IBM/PC, Atari ST, Mac II, ATT 3B1 are also
		expected.  J is very much in the spirit of SAX,
		and has a new, simpler dictionary.  It has an all
		ASCII character set.
