>From years ago, I remember an APL workspace that enabled a standard interchange format between various APL's. For example, if I remember correctly, one of the first things it did was include quad-AV. It then used this to map everything else. I may have a copy of this if anyone is interested. (I think it was called WSIN and WSOUT)
