I`ve recently uploaded a current copy of my general purpose "notecomputing"
environment , written in open , old flat STSC DOS APL-PC .

This venerable system continues to be useful in every day life because
it is open code and because of many of its still unique devices and
concepts .
Users new to APL will find more than a thousand functions in , generally
pretty concise , APL .

Thus , I feel it is a good candidate to be added to anybody`s FAQ
listing of free intro APL environments .

Some of the newest vocabulary provides a bridge to a process running
Arthur Whitney`s K Language .

K`s DOS interface is so crude , that CoSy is a significant step upward .
And , if you know APL , CoSy is so malliable that substantial improvements
in the interface will suggest themselves immediately .

The only requirement for downoading is joining the cosy-notecomputing
mail list so all questions comments and code are "institutionalized" .

See http://cosy.com/language/cosy2000.htm for more info .

"There is much to suggest that we have in fact become more tolerant
toward particular abuses and much more indifferent to inequalities in
individual cases, since we have fixed our eyes on an entirely
different system in which the state will set everything right. It may
even be ... that the passion for collective action is a way in which
we now without compunction collectively indulge in that selfishness
which as individuals we had learned a little to restrain ."
Friedrich Hayek , The Road to Serfdom , p 213 , U of Chic. , 1944 .
