Porting APL-programs via ASCII-transliteration

Skip Abstract Section

Abstract

A scheme for translating APL characters to ASCII text is introduced, and an APL application is developed which reads and writes objects to and from files using the scheme. The system is available freely for several APL dialects; it can be used to port APL applications across different environments. The translation scheme used is proposed as a standard for the ASCII representation of APL characters, and feedback on this scheme is invited.
