Not open source, but royality free for Linux at: http://www.soliton.com/sharp-linux.html It worked on my system at home, well the old one that has now died (kernel 2.0.?). I even found a place that had stickers with the APL symbols on them to paste on your PC keyboard! Unfortunately, that place is long lost in the mists of my fuzzy memory. Now, setting up your X Window system so that you can actually input APL is a real trip! -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
