I have heard rumours of an Apple II version, and wish I had one
in the APL Archives. The source code is there, together with
porter instructions. I have heard no rumors of further
development on I-APL, other than the flurry of activity about a
decade ago.
There is another APL for the Apple II called Vanguard
APL. It requires a character chip. This product was
developed at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas,
by student Phillip Van Cleve under the supervision of
Professor John Howland. Phillip is the one who went on
to do the famous APL.68000.
