Re: GNU APL under Windows

[Dr . Jürgen Sauermann]

    Hi Brian,
      
      thanks a lot for trying it out. I was not entirely sure if it
      works since
      I have no windows machine where cygwin is not installed,
    
    Best Regards,
    Jürgen

Hi Jürgen --

Can confirm that it works on a native Win10 installation on my work laptop.

Windows Defender popped up the first time to say that apl.exe wasn't trusted, but was easy to tell it to launch anyway.

Now if I could only find a reason to teach some APL in my courses :)

Hi,

not that anyone would need it, but I believe I managed to create a
version of GNU APL that runs natively on Windows without the need
to install cygwin.

https://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/apl/trunk/windows

The user must still fix her keyboard somehow (no idea how that
works) but at least the display of APL characters seems to work
out of the box. Tested with Windows 10 (in a vmplayer VM).

Best Regards,
Jürgen
