The J source is not available for public distribution.  In any case,
it would be quite difficult to learn how to use J by looking at the source.
If you register your copy with Iverson Software (see details in the *.doc
files that came with the system), you will get the booklets "Tangible Math"
and "ISI Dictionary of J".  The former is a treatment of some topics
in elementary mathematics using J; the latter is the language reference
together with some tutorial frames.  The book "Programming in J" is
also available for additional cost.
