APL96: University of Lancaster, England
Designing the Future

What follows is a complete list of papers, workshops and Tutorials presented at this year’s APL conference. All the APL code should be mapped to the same layout as used by APL2000 and the new Dyalog APL fonts. To read the APL, set your browser to use the APLPLUS font as its standard fixed pitch font. Alternatively copy the code into either of the above interpreters or use MS Write with the APL2741 font available for download from here (45K download).
