Iverson Software Inc. (ISI) is also a commercial PC APL vendor.
 
J is shareware and is available for the PC and PC386.  The PC386 version
includes a DOS extender and has no object or workspace size limits.
(Well, the limit is 2^31.)
 
APLIPC is shareware and is compatible with ISO-APL and mainframe SHARP APL.
It runs on PCs.
 
APLI386 is not shareware (but is cheap) and is compatible with ISO-APL
and the current release of mainframe SHARP APL (release 20).  It runs
on 386 PCs.  It includes a DOS extender and has no object or workspace
size limits.  ISI extensions include BGI graphics and a debug facility.
The debug facility traces function execution in a debug window, and 
execution can be controlled in a manner much more general and powerful 
than traditional APL stop and trace.
