Dear Peter,

I think the GNU APL layout differs a little from the Dyalog layout.  It
would be nice for your Mac setup to match the output of the GNU APL ]ketb
command.  That is what I did with my layout files.

I used the Mac primarily for several years.  I had a problem with my
motherboard.  While they were fixing it, I switched to LinuxMint as my
primary platform and haven't gone back.  (I had many years of Unix & Linux
experience.  I just didn't use it as my primary development platform until
the last year or so.)  I like the idea of having the software portable so
that I can switch and share at will.  Your Mac layout is appealing for that
reason.  I'd like to get one of my Mac's up with GNU APL, but I haven't
done it yet.

Thanks for your work on the Mac files!!

Blake
