   I haven't heard that rumor, but if it's so, it probably would be a ROM
implementation... I doubt that it's true.

   What you might have heard instead was about an implementation of a
pseudo-apl character set for the Model 100; this is part of an Xmodem/Telecom
program which I wrote a while ago and which is public domain... I'll mail
you a copy if you want.

   My M100/APL char set is pretty close to real APL; it just uses the
built-in wierd characters of the M100, i.e. it does not create chars from
scratch using graphics or anything, so some chars are slightly strange
looking (like a block triangle for 'less than or equal').  I use it when
running APL dialing-in to our VAX.
