A new service level for
the APL2 workstation product set is now
available. This service level is Level 5 for Windows and Level
16 for OS/2, AIX and Sun Solaris. In addition to the usual fixes
for user-reported problems, this service level contains several
important new features, including support for processing files
as arrays and a new workspace for comparing two workspaces.
A new service level for the APL2 workstation product set (Windows, OS/2, AIX/6000 and Sun Solaris) is now available. This service level is Level 5 for Windows and Level 16 for OS/2, AIX and Solaris.
In addition to the usual fixes for user-reported problems, this service level contains several new features.
A new associated processor, Processor 12, provides the capability to associate a name in the APL workspace directly with an operating system file. Once associated, the file can be accessed using ordinary APL operations. The files can be regular text files or files containing APL objects. The syntax and features of this new Processor 12 are compatible with the APL2/370 version of Processor 12 already available.
A new workspace, WSCOMP, is provided in public library 1. This workspace contains tools to compare two workspaces and provide a report of their similarities and differences.
The "-hostwin" invocation option, already available on AIX and Solaris, has now been implemented for OS/2 and Windows. Specifying "-hostwin off" suppresses the interpreter's console window.
Two new functions, MS2TS and TS2MS, have been added to workspace DDESHARE in public library 2. These functions translate between the Microsoft time format (typically used in software like Excel) and the APL2 time format.
A new auxiliary processor, AP 488, provides access to devices on a general-purpose interface bus (GPIB) via the National Instruments GPIB driver software. (Note: this processor is only available for OS/2 and Windows)
A new bitmap font, "APL2 Image", has been added to APL2 for Windows. This font will provide better resolution for screen displays.
A new option has been added to the session manager and editors in APL2 for Windows. This option enables standard Windows shortcut keys like cntrl-x for cut and cntrl-v for paste.
The AP 145 service AplCopyMem, already available in OS/2, has been implemented in Windows.
