I know of three different APL interpreters for the Mac.

     APL.68000 (Spencer Organization, 201 666-6011)
     PortaAPL (Cambridge Mass)
     APL 90
 
Of the three, APL.68000 is the most mature.  It was the first APL
for any  machine using a Motorola 68000 chip, and it was de-bugged
before the Mac came along.  Watch for a review in March 87 issue of
APL Quote Quad.  There is a review of APL 90 in the December issue
of Quote Quad written by Fred Gross.

Fred says that he is willing to distribute APL90 shareware.
Send TWO 3.5 inch diskettes and postage to him at:

One of the implementers of APL 90 is:
