Aihuxi.107 net.lang.apl utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!duke!harpo!mhtsa!ihnss!ihuxi!otto Wed Mar 24 02:07:10 1982 First Message This is the first submission on the new newsgroup "net.lang.apl". I hope this provides a place for many interesting discussions about the uses and abuses of APL. I think the best first use of this group would be for all participants to identify the version of APL most accessible to them, along with the kind of machine on which it is running. I am currently using VSAPL running on IBM's TSS operating system running here at Bell Labs at Indian Hill (Chicago). This APL was converted from the IBM CMS version. Maximum WS size is 12megabytes, although no one that I know has gotten close to this limit. This version just recently replaced an old (ancient) APL\360 version that was running here for many years. FIRST GENERAL QUESTION FOR DISCUSSION: What cannonical WS representations do people use to allow us to exchange APL workspaces over this net? Or by tape?
