Phil Viton, <PViton@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu>, has provided a copy
of the Toronto Toolkit which will run under STSC APL/PC, the (non-386
version), and this has been added to the archives of the University
of Waterloo on the machine

	watserv1.waterloo.edu	[129.97.129.140]

in the directory

	languages/apl/workspaces/toronto.toolkit

Phil reminds users of STSC APL-PLUS/PC that they will almost certainly
need a very large virtual workspace (the vws signon option) if they
wish to run the informational function describe.  He has also included
an alternative, called DESCRIBE (in uppercase letters) which differs
from the one supplied in that after writing the requested information
to the screen, it pauses and waits for the user to press a key before
showing the master menu.  The original version immediately restored the
master menu, and a user without a session manager lost whatever was on
the screen.
