Hi Marv I’m actually looking for the C source code so I can see how J primitives are coded in C

If you are interested in finding how the interpreter functions you may find it interesting to reading Henry Rich's J for C, which describes what happens in the section about Tacit Programming at: https://www.jsoftware.com/help/jforc/parsing_and_execution_i.htm#_Toc191734584 In regard of Github, there are two buttons labelled: "<> Code" if and only if you are using a pc. A mobile device doesn't show the green one that has the ZIP file listed. All is not lost however, there is a textbox called "search" in the mobile version's menu, where you can type a suitable phrase and then specify where to search in the repository. If you wish to do this, the problem is understanding how J's code is structured. It uses its own way of writing C, which is introduced here: https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Essays/Incunabulum Perhaps one of the development team can guide you further as to where to look... Hope this helps Marv.
