APL LIBRARY

The APL Software Exchange changes its name to SIGAPL Software Library. This collection has been developed over the years, and has generally been made available only at APL conferences. Watch it grow.

• APL Bibliography has been expanded.
• Name change. The first phase of our name change is complete. We are no longer accessible via the domain "waterloo.edu". Save these hot links as bookmarks:
  • ftp://watserv1.uwaterloo.ca/languages/apl/index.html and
  • ftp://watserv1.uwaterloo.ca/languages/j/index.html
• J3 Freeware files have been added to the Waterloo Archives to provide a "mirror" of the Free version of J3, found on the site "http://www.jsoftware.com/fware.html"
• A mirror of Waterloo's APL Archives and J Archives is maintained by the University of Economics and Business Administration in Vienna, Austria. These might be easier (faster) to access for users outside the Americas.
  • Vienna APL mirror
  • Vienna J mirror
• The J Archives are being re-organized. Users with bookmarks linked to sub-directories are advised that some re-arrangement is going on.
• Walter Felscher and John Sullivan have each provided an APL workspace for doing multiple precision arithmetic. See their respective solutions in Multiple Precision APL workspaces. Sullivan has provided his work in APLASCII format, the representation invented by Jim Weigang.
• Free version of the Special Edition of APL-PLUS from Manugistics.
• The APL and J conference in Toronto APL97.

Some highlights from the Archives
