Hello, all:
There is a lot of interest in retro-computing these days, and I am
hoping to resurrect APL\360 running under DOS/360 or DOS/VS using the
Hercules IBM mainframe emulator.
I am hopeful that somewhere, someone may still have a machine-readable
copy of the original IBM Program 360D

This has been an issue with me, as well.

Bruce, you couldn't get your editor code into one line?
For the young 'uns - there were always efforts to see how few lines an APL

Great acronym, though. IIRC, stood for A Programming Language.

Bruce, you couldn't get your editor code into one line?
Hey, I never said how many lines it was, just that it was half a page
(printed). Honestly I don't recall, but it wasn't a lot of lines. For
the uninitiated, APL was a very compact language, using a lot of special
characters

Correct.
If my ex hadn't left me I would still have a (signed) copy of a first edition
of Iverson's book.
IIRC, it was entitled:
A Programming Language.

A friend of mine used to work at IP Sharp(e?).
IP Sharp.
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):

Sharp APL gained mixed data types in
arrays shortly before IBM delivered the original APL2 IUP in 1984/5

That was the project my friend worked on.
His first out of University.

There are eleven APL buttons in my collection at
http://www.mxg.com/thebuttonman
(Select Browse, then change ACM to APL and search Products)
Most of them are undated and have no authorship information,
although one was for APL's 25th Anniversary, 1966-1991.
If you know more about any of them
APL, Another Programming Language. AGW Another Gateway.
Will it never end !!
