<BR>
Dear Friends of APL,<BR>
<BR>
I'm pleased to report that on the 50th anniversary of the publication of Ken Iverson's book "A Programming Language", the Computer History Museum has released the source code of APL\360 for non-commercial use. See the online exhibit surrounding the code here:<BR>

<BR>
This comes 40 years after I first squirrelled the code away on a magnetic tape in my attic, and 10 years after starting the process of getting permission from IBM to release it. It appears that collecting, preserving, and presenting the history of software requires substantial persistence and patience.<BR>
<BR>
We did something similar for MacPaint source code a couple of years ago:<BR>

<BR>
Stay tuned for more.<BR>
