Free or nominal fee commerical-grade APLs seem to be just for the PC; see
the FAQ recently published here.  Don't know of any free or low-cost ones
for UNIX (one reason may be which UNIX?).

There was a Mac version, APL90, which may still be around.  Contact:
Jean Jacques Girardot, Computer Science Dept., School of Mines, France,
girardot@emse.fr.  But I think this was mostly experimental.

MicroAPL in London has two Mac APLs, the basic one is quite low-priced,
but >$100 I think.
