After five years I finally got to play with APL again, on a PC running
a system built in IBM-Madrid. What Fun!

Lacking a Manual, however, I need to know how to invoke the Music, graphics,
and FileIO auxialiary processors.

If anyone out there knows, please send me a brief note.

Thanks in advance!

Lacking a manual, you sound like you are running a copy that
you obtained illegally.  If this is so, I hope you get what you deserve.

I suppose I'll be roasted and tortured in hell for 1 billion years
for playing with software on somebody else's PC!!!!

Or Perhaps IBM will arrest me and force me to program FORTRAN for 20 years.

Thanks a lot for your help, Mr. or Ms. Ark.




That does bring up a good question for net.micro.ethics, however:

If you use a machine and discover that there are no documents
for a program on it, does that mean that the program was pirated?

(or could the manual have been lost, stolen, or could the original author of
the program have given the owner a free copy?))

Should you then call the FBI and report the owner of the machine
as a perpetrator of petty theft?

What if a lot of people use a machine and someone throws on 
a copy of the latest, hottest software fad product.  Is the Hard disk now
ILLEGAL?  Or is only the innocent searcher of directories who executes it
the felon?


Still waiting for hellfire and APL-PC-AP help,

Jordan
