Thursday 21 November 2024 10:22 UTC Welcome To The NARS2000 Project

Welcome to NARS2000 Wiki where Nested Arrays-APL-APL2, how they work and what they do - abundantly awaits you, as a learning tool and later as a great reference and refresher! This wiki also proposes to create an on-line reference for the APL Programming Language (this is a link to the article on Wikipedia) as implemented by NARS2000.

Useful NARS links: NARS2000 home page. Sudley Place APL Projects.
