VECTOR's exclusive APL Product Guide aims to provide readers with useful information about sources of APL hardware, software and services. We welcome any comments readers may have on its usefulness and any suggestions for improvements.
We do depend on the alacrity of suppliers to keep us informed about their products so that we can update the Guide for each issue of VECTOR. Any suppliers who are not included in the Guide should contact me to get their free entry - see address below.
We reserve the right to edit material supplied for reasons of space or to ensure a fair market coverage.
The listings are not restricted to UK companies and international suppliers are welcome to take advantage of these pages. Where no UK distributor has yet been appointed, the vendor should indicate whether this is imminent or whether approaches for representation by existing companies are welcomed.
For convenience to readers, the product list has been divided into the following groups:
- Complete APL Systems (Hardware & Software)
- APL Timesharing Services
- APL Interpreters
- APL Visual Display Units
- APL character set printers
- APL-based packages
- APL Consultancy
- APL Training Courses
- Other services
- Vendor addresses
Every effort has been made to avoid errors in these listings but no responsibility can be taken by the working group for mistakes or omissions.
Note: 'poa' indicates 'price on application'.
All contributions to the APL Product Guide should be sent to:
