Hello, FWIW, I have put two versions I found under kergis.com downloads zone:
http://downloads.kergis.com/misc/apl4_0.tar.gz and http://downloads.kergis.com/misc/apl4_3.tar.gz The version number is relative to the BSD version it was released with. The 4.0 has a cat1 man page mentioning Ken Thompson (but it is not present in apl.1?!!!). The 4.3 version tells a story that links to what Charles told: Ken Thompson wrote the Unix version, then went to Purdue and Berkeley. The 4.3 version is the Purdue version with modifications made, so is derived from Ken Thompson's version. In coding style, the versions are quite different. The sizes too! T.
