>It is true. STSC's first micro APL was for the Trash-80 model 100.
I think you meant the TRS-80 Model III. STSC has never listed
a version for the Model-100 (the portable micro).
>They translated this to get the first version of their IBM PC implementation.
Yes, but STSC APL*PLUS/PC Version 5.0 is an amazing implementation.
It is the best implementation of APL (from the user interface point
of view) that I have ever used.

Yes, you can get APL character ROMs for various PC and PC clone
display boards. I replaced the ROM in the IBM PC monochrome
board. The APL chars are quite nice and for the most part do not cause
many problems when using other programs..
