Re: GNU APL 1.9 Released

[enztec]

Hi

another suggestion

from   apl -v    output
config.status:  default ./configure options       might be good to have the 
options used to configure apl output here  like  gcc -v  does

---

in case someone is compiling with libapl.a (static libapl) you now need to add 
-lpng to the compile line

---

there is still this syntax error using  c/libapl and python3/gnu_lib_apl still 
for 1 year+ after using )copy and i still have to use my workaround to to get 
fns

SYNTAX ERROR+
Tokenizer: No token for Unicode U+2207 (∇)
Input was: ∇ws

libapl is no longer being maintained i guess - maybe time to remove it from the 
distribution until the basic problems can be workied on so no one tries to use 
this beta libapl thinking it is as good as apl itself
there was a guy here within the last year who had problems with libapl that 
were never resolved
