The second edition of "The APL Toolkit, A Collection of APL Functions"
was published in 1988 by the APL Special Interest Group of the Canadian
Information Processing Society.  It was made of functions collected in
the group and edited by Richard Levine, a longstanding and loyal member
of the group.

It has about 250 pages, and is thoughtfully organized.

There is an address in the back of the book, but I am not sure
that it still "works".  I don't even know if there are any 
supplies on hand.  However, interested readers may wish to write
to Richard at <richard.levine@canrem.com>.

There is a third edition of this toolkit, called the Toronto Toolkit,
which has been available since May 1992.
This can be obtained by anonymous ftp from watserv1.uwaterloo.ca,
in the directory
	languages/apl/workspaces/toronto
There are several versions of the toolkit there, including one suitable
for workspace interchange.  The size of the ws is about one half megabyte.
