APL90:
"APL 90 is a new implementation of APL. APL 90 was written in C, between 1982 and 1988, at the Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne (France), by Jean-Jacques Girardot, François Mireaux and Sega Sako (with the additional help of a lot of people).....
The Macintosh version can be used on a MacPlus, with or without the switcher. It has also been tested on the Macintosh SE (although we haven't found much speed improvement over the Mac Plus), and on the Mac 2, (where it is real fast), but you may have to customize somewhat your keyboard. APL 90 is essentially an adaptation of the UNIX programs, and currently reflects little of the possibilities of the Macintosh. It is compiled using Mac C, and parts of APL 90 are ©Consulair Corporation. Please consider this program as an intermediate product and a demo version."

APL92:
"As of May 94, there has been little evolution in APL 90.  The important differences with the language described here are :
- APL 90 use faceware modules. These are available as shareware on some sites like sumex-aim.stanford.edu. A copy of some portions of Faceware is also available on mars.emse.fr as FACEWARE.SEA.HQX."

MAC NAME:  MacAPL

VERSION:  2.11 serial 31415

README:
"Starting out in APL is as easy as 2+2. In its simplest form, APL works like a desk calculator. You type in a mathematical expression in an algebra-like notation, and APL types out the answer for you when you press the Return key."
