Gavin! you are to be commended for this project! Will put on file at
smecc museum and at some point set up a instance of it running on a system
here. Oddly we have a laptop that works in apl and saves data to a
dictation type mini cassette type of storage media! side
Thanks for putting this out. Not a system I'm familiar with but did
play around briefly with APL in 1969 on an IBM 360.
Very nice emulator and managed to get it up and running once found an
