The US distributor for MicroAPL's APL.68000 is
Spencer Organization, Inc.
PO Box 248
Westwood, NJ 07675
(201) 666-6011
I just got mine the other day. Watch it though, they tag on 4% for
using a credit card and I don't believe they told me about it when I
ordered. They used to sell for a coupla bucks (a give-away at APL-87
in Dallas this past spring/summer) a demo disk which was pretty much
the same as the distribution disk sans workspace/function saving to disk.
MicroAPL is a company located in the heart of London, England. APL.68000
is version level 6 and thus is quite stable. An APL2 is in the works
according to Bill Spencer.
I'm just re-learning APL on my Amiga but I'd sure like to hear from others
and their experiences.
Happy Holidays folks!
