Hi Björn,
I have looked at Dyalog - you are right - it looks free and a solid APL
system. However, it still has the disadvantage of all APL systems - it
cannot coexist on a keyboard with Regular ASCII applications. The advantage
of J is that it can coexist - so that only one keyboard is needed. I am just
suggesting a way to deceive the user into thinking that the system is using
Graphic symbols when it is really using two ASCII symbols.
