Taken from http://www.sigapl.org/whyapl.htm:
"APL is a language for describing procedures in the processing of information. It can be used to describe mathematical procedures having nothing to do with computers, or to describe (to a human being) the way a computer works." I'm particularly interested in that last purpose; does anyone have any information on when and how APL was used in describing computers and related systems? I tried searching on my own and found a passing mention of its use in formally describing the IBM System/360, but I couldn't actually find said description. I would appreciate it if someone could point me to information on this use of APL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
