Some time ago I saw postings in this newsgroup on More's array theory.
Unfortunately I didn't keep them. I would like to know a little more about
this subject. Could somebody provide me with references?

Answers preferrably via e-mail. If there is interest I will summarize and
post.

Well, I received one answer to my query on More's array theory last week.
Since I promised to summarize, here it is.

I posted a query about references to More's work about a year ago
on comp.lang.apl, and didn't get any useful responces.  Here is a 
list of references that I've been able to compile:

He also had a paper in the 1990 APL proceedings which was described 
as an extended abstract of a "final" array theory.  I haven't been able
to locate the final version of the paper, and that paper had no
bibliography.  I believe that you can get all the IBM array theory
TRs by asking IBM for them by topic ("send me all the array theory
papers by More").

Please send me mail summarizing any responses you receive, especially
about his later work.
