Re: [Bug-apl] Restrictions on localization of system variables?

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi,

thanks, should be fixed in SVN 294.

Note that there are some subtle differences between IBM APL2 and GNU APL
when localizing ⎕-vars. In IBM APL2 they are undefined after localizing 
them.
In GNU APL they are pre-initialized with their respective default 
values. This
gives simpler (and therefore faster code) because no check for validity 
is needed
for the variables themselves, but also for the many internal users of them.
