Hi there,

In Ken's paper A Personal View of APL

http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/APLPersonalView.htm

I have found 2 places which probably should be "corrected".

1/  A typo -  

In function tables, the f outer product of APL is in J the dyadic case of f/ . 
For example:

   [a=. b= i. 5
0 1 2 3 4

Should be ==>

   [a=. b=. i. 5



2/  Probably due to a language change since Ken wrote the paper. I suggest best 
handled by an editorial comment listing the (now correct) code.

   Adverbs may be defined tacitly in a number of ways, as follows:
   ...

   table=. /([`by`]`over`)\

==>

   table=. /([`by`]`over`) (`: 6)
