> Alex, thank you for your interest.
> Assume that you know J / APL and you don't know VB.
> You have to use VBA by direction from above.
> VBA has arrays and the 'variant' type.
> You think that you can use Iverson's ideas.
> The first thing you need is a dictionary.
> Eg tally in J is translates to ubound() in VBA
> Then you need a set of functions that
> perform operations on arrays using Iverson's terminology.
> What I am looking for is any write up and/or other work
