That was an interesting idea, considering that one of first applications of APL was as the "programming" language to describe computer systems. The P for Programming at that time meant "implementation blueprint", as the notation was put on paper rather than executed on a machine. Sort of a fine-grained UML for pre-OOP era, esp. boxes and arrows. Now since it's long been executable, it would be interesting to see how it can be used both as blueprint and for coding an actual running system. Considering that most computers are topologically similar, it should be possible to create a generic toolkit with which it would be easy to specify different systems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
