I would love to have another copy of that, having lost my first years ago. I could not really be called a true APLer. I was retained at the Toronto development office of Reuters, formerly I.P. Sharp to assist them in migrating their processes from APL to Java. The Toronto office was being shut down and batches of people were leaving every week. There were waste bins piled with the cleaned out refuse from dozens of offices and a couple dozen copies of APL An Interactive Approach in the pile. I pinched one and kept it for years before I stumbled into J and began my array language adventure.
If anyone else should want the copy, I'm sure that they have a better claim than I but I would hate to see yet another in the waste bin. - michael On Thu, Jun 10, 2021, 20:41 Thomas Arneson <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a copy of APL An Interactive Approach, Second Edition Revised > Reprinting 1976 by Gillman & Rose.
