Congratulations on your compiler. I looked through your pages and came across this "[This article originally appeared in the ACM SIGAPL Quote Quad, vol. 21, no.1, September 1990.] The APL character set has contributed, more than any other facet of the language, to its lack of acceptance in the computing community at large. The character set is a metaproblem -- not a problem in and of itself, but a creator of other recurring problems of hardware, software, ergonomics, and psychology. The adoption of new, ASCII-base dialects of APL, such as J, is suggested as one solution to the character set problem. " This is also the reason for why I will not be downloading your new compiler until there will be a J version of it, something I hope will be coming soon. I can not use the APL character set at all. It is too mixed up with my national characters. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
