Thanks so much Roger and Brian - I plan to click on the links, and hope to come back re the work on "software linguistics" Adin and I were doing in the 80's and happily interacting with Ken and APL as well - I note online that sl field has taken off (in a good sense) and there are likely connections.
Also it may be interesting to take pics of the "Claim Structure Grammars" I built for my computing / info. sci advisor Ted Glaser in the 70's, because it would be very nice if it relates generally to J. I want to carry forth with the "family" projects. Will be pleased to partner in studies, conversations ... You give a lot of clues .. very nice. LDMF. *Respectful Interfaces* . When googling use quotes!
