The BBC Model B ran I-APL, too. Sitting on my desk is a copy of "I-APL Instruction Manual for PC Clones, RML Nimbus, BBC Master & B, and Archimedes", along with a few other APL books and a pile of newsletters, waiting to be thrown away :-( I got a copy because they were giving it away free to schools. Poisoning young minds ;-) How did programmers manage back then in 32k? Less software development, more jigsaw puzzle. John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
