I remember cross-testing reading and writing ATF files between Dyalog, NARS 2000, and GNU APL last year upon discovering some problems GNU APL had with encoding back then. It was certainly possible to transfer workspaces between the three, but, of course, any non-standard feature would cause problems (IIRC something as trivial as use of ⍬ would fail). Sometimes Dyalog may decide to index ⎕AV instead of using ⎕UCS which will also give bad results. -k
