Re: [Bug-apl] using XFRPC11.w3

[Fausto Saporito]

Hello Jürgen,

thanks for the clarification.
I found this page http://aplwiki.com/Transfer%20code and it's talking
about APL2000 and others vendors, so I hope to find something similar
with GNU-APL and Dyalog.
Dyalog supports ]OUT and it generates a XWD file (extended file, not ATF).

So I'm wondering if there's a way to support this kind of format .

thanks,
Fausto
