A friend of mine would be interested in obtaining either public-domain
or commercially available APL for a Mac Plus.  A phone number or address
of a vendor would be greatly appreciated.  Comments, opinions, or experiences
with APL on the Mac would also be welcome.

Thank you in advance.	...!tektronix!reed!omen!bucket!safari!dave

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:

    Fred Gross
    New Product Editor
    1100 Richards Avenue
    Santa Fe, NM 87505
 
    (505) 827-7872

One of the implementers of APL 90 is:

   Jean-Jacques Girardot
   St. Etienne School of Mines,
   St. Etienne, France
