QL/APL User Group

Transcribed from the printed issue; not yet reviewed. Read it in the PDF of the issue, page 21

Those users of QL/APL who have to date been beavering away in isolation will be interested to hear of the formation of a QL/APL User Group to exchange news, views, ideas and software.

The group will be an independent body run by users, whose aim will be to provide a vehicle for the promotion of all matters pertaining to the furtherance of APL on the QL – an environment from which to compound, augment, and proclaim hard-gained knowledge and results.

Ron Suter, who currently works for a large English mail order chain store company, has volunteered himself as founder member and consequently organiser of the initial set-up of the group, along with MicroAPL Ltd. who have offered to host the inaugural meeting.

MicroAPL have also offered a prototype copy of their MicroPlot software for the QL free of charge to anyone joining the group; like many a great symphony this is as yet unfinished, and so it offers an immediate challenge to any wishing to take up the gauntlet of group participation in the project.

In order to register your interest, please contact Ron Suter at the address given below. Please include your name and address, details of the APL version used (keyword or symbolic), amount of RAM, main areas of interest, and any suggestions for topics for User Group metings.
