Subject: Re: GNU APL - Running apl.exe - FYI
Hi Richard,
the trick is usually to run GNU APL in an xterm (it may not be installed by
default in cygwin, but they have an easy way of adding packages. I believe).
Once the xterm is up and running you start GNU APL inside the xterm and
the APL characters will magically show up. Nothing else needed regarding fonts.
The only thing left then is to set up your keyboard.
There is a set of text files called README-xxx at the top-level of the GNU APL
package that explain the different aspects like settig up your keyboard for APL.

Hello Juergen – For your information, no action required.
Here’s something that may interest you (I don’t think one can put attachments on the mailing list). Here is what happened when I tried to run apl.exe under Cygwin on my Windows 7 computer. It started, but I didn’t get the APL font, and not much else. I got nice value error messages, though. I understand that apl.exe is not fully supported.
Regards
