The Toronto ACM SIGAPL Toolkit Version 2.1 1992-05-12 The Toronto Toolkit is a collection of useful ISO Standard APL utility functions collected by the Toronto Chapter of ACM SIGAPL, and provided without charge as a service to the computing community. The functions conform to the 1984 ISO (International Standards Organization) APL Standard N8485. The Toronto Chapter of ACM SIGAPL is a group of people interested in APL, based in Toronto, Canada. Using the Toolkit The Toolkit consists of APL workspaces for SHARP APL, APL*PLUS, IBM APL2, and DYALOG APL systems, as well as an ISO Workspace Interchange format file. Loading the workspace "toolkit" from one of these systems, then typing "describe", will lead you through a description of the workspace and its documentation.
