Greetings All, I have found a very handy J editor trick for the 602 version of j.exe.
Go to the Vector web site and download the APL385 Unicode font. The url follows: http://www.vector.org.uk/?area=fonts <http://www.vector.org.uk/?area=fonts>Install the font and then select it as the main font in the J configuration tool. J'ugglers will not see any difference. J looks pretty much like it always does even boxes line up properly if you have selected the linedraw option. Now for all you APL'ers out there. If your APL can place unicode representations of APL code on the clipboard go ahead and generate some. Dyalog does this automatically other dialects will need some character remapping. Now open a new IJS window in J and paste in your APL code. Voila - the APL characters are preserved and all is good and well with the world. Next up - the federal budget. Cheers John D.
