What are the supported editing commands for the GNU APL line editor (∇-editor)?
Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask. Does anyone have an answer for https://stackoverflow.com/q/65501744/5306507 ?
Re: What are the supported editing commands for the GNU APL line editor (∇-editor)?
Hi Adam, I actually tried to answer the question directly on stackoverflow, but the answer was removed by a moderator (Samuel Liew) because it contained a web link (to an IBM document). The document is the APL language reference and the link is (currently): www.ibm.com/downloads/cas/ZOKMYKOY I also asked IBM officially for permission to ship a copy of the document behind the link with GNU APL, but permission was denied even though IBM makes a big (marketing-only ?) fuzz about how well they support open source projects here: https://www.ibm.com/opensource/story/ The document in question has been on the web for over 20 years now, so its a bit ridiculous not to allows copying of it (some US university had it on their web some years ago but the link has disappeared in the meantime) and the IBM link also changes every few years.

GNU APL under weidows
Hi, not that anyone would need it, but I believe I managed to create a version of GNU APL that runs natively on Windows without the need to install cygwin. https://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/apl/trunk/windows The user must still fix her keyboard somehow (no idea how that works) but at least the display of APL characters seems to work out of the box. Tested with Windows 10 (in a vmplayer VM). Best Regards, Jürgen
RE: GNU APL under weidows
Hi Jürgen -- Can confirm that it works on a native Win10 installation on my work laptop. Windows Defender popped up the first time to say that apl.exe wasn't trusted, but was easy to tell it to launch anyway. Now if I could only find a reason to teach some APL in my courses :) ~Brian Brian Robert Callahan, Ph.D. Lecturer, ITWS@RPI Office: Amos Eaton 132 From: Bug-apl [bug-apl-bounces+callab5=rpi@gnu.org] on behalf of Dr. Jürgen Sauermann [m...@xn--jrgen-sauermann-zvb.de] Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2021 10:47 AM To: bug-apl@gnu.org Subject: GNU APL under weidows Hi, not that anyone would need it, but I believe I managed to create a version of GNU APL that runs natively on Windows without the need to install cygwin. https://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/apl/trunk/windows The user must still fix her keyboard somehow (no idea how that works) but at least the display of APL characters seems to work out of the box.

Re: GNU APL under Windows
Hi Brian, thanks a lot for trying it out. I was not entirely sure if it works since I have no windows machine where cygwin is not installed, Best Regards, Jürgen On 2/10/21 4:55 PM, Callahan, Brian Robert wrote: Hi Jürgen -- Can confirm that it works on a native Win10 installation on my work laptop.
