What is APL90?

APL 90 ... is a straight APL from France. It is ported from a mainframe APL written in C at the Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne by Jean-Jacques Girardot, François Mireaux and Sega Sako, and is full APL, conforming to the ISO standard. It has a few Mac features, including a row of buttons along the bottom of the screen to change keyboard (ASCII vs. APL), debugging (NONE, TRACE, Macsbug) and to show the time and cursor position. Unfortunately there isn’t a full-screen editor; you have to use the standard clumsy APL del-editor. If you’re interested in doing number crunching and don’t care much about immediate access to the toolbox, this is a good one to look at. Girardot plans to add APL2 features (including nested arrays, ambivalent functions, machine language functions, as well as some object-oriented extensions) by the end of the year. Since APL 90 comes from France, it has a few keyboard problems - they very kindly put in a UK keyboard option, but not a US option.
