Hi - I'm working on a web page commemorating Ken's Turing award and am
wondering if anyone has a copy of his lecture in a text format; i.e. not the
PDF of images from the 1981 issue of Communications of the ACM, which I
have.

I'm currently typing it in but it's going to take a while.  Fortunately, for
the web page, I'll initially need only the introductory section, which I've
already entered.  Part of the difficulty of entering it is the APL character
set (surprise) but I've decided that the APL385 Unicode font will do for
this.  Interestingly, one of the first "special" characters was _not_ a
standard APL one - it's the double-headed arrow for "equivalence".

In any case, I would like to get the whole lecture up in a more searchable
form.

Thanks,

Devon
