Hi Adam,

I actually tried to answer the question directly on stackoverflow, but the answer was
removed by a moderator
(Samuel Liew) because it contained a web link (to an IBM
document).

The document is the APL language reference and the link is (currently):

www.ibm.com/downloads/cas/ZOKMYKOY

I also asked IBM officially for permission to ship a copy of the document
behind the link with GNU APL, but permission was denied even though
IBM makes a big (marketing-only ?) fuzz about how well they support open
source projects here:

 https://www.ibm.com/opensource/story/

The document in question has been on the web for over 20 years now, so its a bit
ridiculous not to allows copying of it (some US university had it on their web some years
ago but the link has disappeared in the meantime)  and the IBM link also changes every
few years.

Best Regards,
Jürgen
