Subject: [9fans] APL
Date: Sun, 21 Feb 2021 14:31:13 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <09039be1035b0ed7@orthanc.ca> (raw)
Long ago and far away I built/ran Thompson's APL (from the V7 source
tape IIRC) on one of the VAXen. This was very much pre-ANSI C code,
but the Ultrix 1.1 compiler handled it fine.
About 15 years ago I dusted off the source and started converting
it to ANSI C, but I got distracted and have since lost the source.
Has anyone here done anything similar. I would really like to have
a native APL (even an ancient one like above). If anyone did get
it converted to ANSI, a native port could be bootstrapped through
APE.
Failing that, does anybody have a copy of the original source
kicking around? Since the virus is going to keep me locked up
for a few more months yet, porting would help pass the time :-)

P.S. Yes I know there are a million other APLs out there, as
well as J and the assorted follow-ons. It's the V7 code I'm
specifically interested in. Maybe it's tucked away in the
bitsaver archives ...
