APL, Resurrecting an old APL WS

Resurrecting an old APL WS

Author	Message
Skip Cav #1 / 3	Resurrecting an old APL WS I have an old APL workspace that I find that I need to resurrect. It calculates bigram & trigram word probabilities in text. The workspace was made on APLPLUS/PC VERS 10.1 in 1992. I can no longer find the disks for this version of APL. The workspace is entitled "WORD.AWS". I have placed a copy of the workspace file on the web at: http://www.--.com/ Perhaps one of the newsgroup participants could generate a printout or an ASCII translation of the workspace functions and variables with comments. Is there anyone out there with a version of APL that can read this workspace? Or, can I get an old version of APL to run the WS on my Windows ME system? Skip Cave

I believe APL SE (freeware available via Waterloo web site below) is basically Version 10. ftp://watserv1.uwaterloo.ca/languages/apl/apl-plus/aplse.html Doug White

Skip Cav #3 / 3	Resurrecting an old APL WS To all of the newsgroup members that responded to my post: I found a copy of APLSE at ftp://watserv1.uwaterloo.ca/languages/apl/apl-plus/aplse.html thanks to Doug White. I downloaded the APLSE executable, and it opened my old workspace immediately. However, nothing I did would get the APL character set right (so what's new?). I was able to cut the APL function out and paste it in a text file. I am currenly porting the algorithm to J (Which mostly means replacing the APL comment lamps with NB.'s) and I will soon see if it will work . Mike Day was kind enough to read in my aws using APLSE, exported it to Dyalog APL, and from there did an ASCII transliteration using Jim Weigang's A2A routines. Other posters sent me copies of this DOS-based APL. Thanks to all. I'm on my way... Skip
