Thank you. Confirmed working with the original test cases.
Pushing a bit further, I believe that the following behavior may still
be contrary to the IBM spec in SVN 268:

Well as for the SQL support, it certainly would be useful to have it
shipped as part of GNU APL. The main reasons for me not pushing for that
yet is that the workflow is a bit painful. There was some discussion a few
months ago about external contributions to the source repository, but it's

Dear Elias,
Notwithstanding my rant about nested arrays, yes, I do agree with Jürgen.
Once you drift from the standard, you no longer have APL, you have XYZ.
Creating XYZ is fine and great, it's just not APL. And, you probably
should't call it APL.
I am very much in favor of enhancement to GNU

Hi,
first of all, the search path for )LOAD, )SAVE, and friends is
configurable in the GNU APL preferences file
as LIBREF-0 ... 9.
Shared libraries are installed in an own directory which is usually
/usr/lib/apl or /usr/local/lib/apl.
The exact location is determined by (and can also be chang
Well, I never said you can't use a workspace. Right now everything about
the libraries and packages are very much in flux, which is why I have not
spent much time thinking about distribution.
There clearly needs to be a nice, encapsulated, way to distribute libraries
with a native component. I thi
Dear Elias,
I will add the SQL workspace to my upcoming keyed file system. Should I
add a README for your SQL library to my keyed file package too?
Regarding workspaces and their opaque format, this is exactly the same
argument as my nested array argument. Are we going to debate and ignore

Actually, I have already mentioned to Jürgen that we need some way of
specifying a default serach path for )LOAD and friends. However, I have not
seen it as particularly important yet since we don't have a completed
package manager yet.
I personally dislike workspaces and I know I'm not alone in t
Greetings,
The enclosed is the beginnings of a proposed README.txt file for the SQL
extension. I think documentation can help minimize newbie frustration and
improve GNU APL usage.
The loading instructions, below, will depend on a possible workspace being

I am in the process of writing a proposed README.txt file for the SQL
interface to GNU APL. That package comes with a file named sql.apl that is
a shell script to startup GNU APL with the SQL shared library and APL
routines already loaded.
IMO, that method of loading it has a few prob
