>Neat language, too. Back at Brown University in the early 70s, I worked with OS and CP/67 and CMS, but I learned APL ... The difficult thing was to debug (especially others's code). It was usually easier to just write a new routine.
A friend of mine used to work at IP Sharp(e?). One of the things he implemented in Sharp APL was a way of getting different types into a matrix. He created a 'Matrix of Matrices'. So, you could create a bunch of 1byN Matrix elements. This way you could store (for example): Part Name (char) Part Number (int) Part Cost (float) in the same matrix, rather than creating (and co-ordinating) multiples. -teD In God we Trust!
