Chris:
Thanks for answering my question.
Its been many years since I last looked at J. I have worked with J for about
the last 3 weeks. It now looks like many of the impediments that kept me away
from J have been addressed. I am glad to see better documentation on the GUI
interface, the debugger is very nice, the form builder is great, and the
project manager (still a bit early) seems a bit difficult (but I intend to keep
at it). The one big hole for me is something (a built in facility) for
managing locales. I like the J implementation of locales. However, J could
really benefit from having an explorer facility similar to Dialog APL for
managing locales. Something that would display all locales and show their
contents. Maybe that will get added down the line. For the most part J is
becoming better and better.
Regards,
Joe

You did everything right, but there is a bug in J6 when creating
standalone apps with Plot - thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Plot requires several other files, and not all are being included in a
standalone app, so right now, including Plot means including the full
development system. I will get this fixed.
To answer your other questions, I just put up a wiki page that should
help, see:
