Unicode Dyalog has a new keyboard layout and can coexist with Regular ASCIIYou can also write APL code using the APL385 font in editors outside APL and then use it by applying the simple APL Spice and SALT and stepping through the scripts
See the thread in c.l.a http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.apl/browse_thread/thread/b605fd22c833e24a# for an example There is also a youtube example to look at there 2009/2/22 Don Watson <[email protected]> > Hi Björn, > > I have looked at Dyalog - you are right - it looks free and a solid APL > system.
