I have used lots of code managers but fondly remember some
functionality of Logos quite apart from handling APL characters. But
its fine that there is no need for a custom code manager for J.

I don't know if it does versioning though.
Mention of Logos is only available on the web at
http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=22008.22054
which means that it's closed for the general public.
That is the fate of most of invaluable APL material:
corporations and interest groups are just sitting
on it and it gradually vanishes into the oblivion.
(Another example "SHARP APL Technical Notes").
This may be true of APL material in general, but Logos and other APL
source code managers are a special case. They were required for APL
because of its non-standard character set and storage of source
code in
an internal binary format. As a result, much APL effort was devoted to
writing custom built source code managers.
They are simply not needed for J, where normal source code managers
work
fine.
