No problem, but this is a very different question! APL had probably the most influence on the design of J, and articles on APL and J previously mentioned should help here. There is also a lab in the system, "Mathematical Roots of J". I don't think Mathematica had any influence on J, though perhaps APL had a minor influence on Mathematica. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
