Anyone out there interested in a native APL for the PowerMac? IBM just
ported their APL2 product to SUN, their first non-IBM hardware port. I
already inquired about a port to the PowerMac. They said they are open
to any platform, if the demand is there. Let them know if you are
interested. Their address is 'apl2@vnet.ibm.com' The PowerMac is a great
machine and it needs a good APL!

If I understand correctly what I am reading in the trade press, PowerMac's
should be able to run AIX binaries more or less natively. Thus there doesn't
seem to be any need for a specific port of APL2 to the PowerMac.
