Re: [Bug-apl] Toronto Toolkit documentation wanted - how to load in running GNU-APL

[Dr . Jürgen Sauermann]

Hi Patrick,

my understanding of the toronto toolkit is that it is a library which should be )COPYd rather
than being )LOADed. For that reason it does not start with #! apl (even though that could easily be added).

Please note that, depending on your browser, the browser command "File→Save page as" may give a
different result than "Edit→Select All" followed by copy/paste (e.g. into emacs).

Files ending with .apl are usually meant to be copied at OS level (loading them into a browser would
not give the expected result) while files ending with .html are meant to be displayed by a browser (and
loading them directly into apl may also fail).

Copying from a browser window into vi seems to work nicely under X but I can't say anything about emacs.

Best Regards,
/// Jürgen

If I use apl -f toronto-toolkit.apl (saved from the text version of the toronto-toolkit.html file) it somewhat works. However whatever attempt to load from within a running GNU-APL (under Emacs) fails.
