This is a response to Douglas F. DeJulio of Carnegie Mellon U. in Pittsburgh,
PA, USA, whose complex domain-format path defeated my mailer:

"Doug:
  No, I have not seen any programming language translation products that can
 handle APL.  The difficulty is probably the parallel operations on generic
 arrays of dynamically differing size and dimension.  It could be done in
 C++, Ada, LISP, or other languages, but I have not seen it done.

   Bill Hutchison"
