Yes, I have noticed that about the literature. It's particularly striking to me when I see APL-ish (or J-ish) topics mentioned -- discussions of reduction or folds for example -- with a references dating back to the '80s, and no mention of Iverson's work. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
