The best use I've seen for APL was in a book on ALU architecture. They used APL algorithms to describe hardware, with vector operations mapping to arrays of hardware elements and control/data flow mapping to interconnections. The APL descriptions were at least as clear as block diagrams would be. Also, your comments on Algol (Algol60 is probably the right reference) are right on. It's the grandaddy of all block structured languages. Gerry Gleason
