Wasn't there a public-domain version of J a few years ago?
I just got my first taste of APL from Iverson's transcript
of his Turing Award lecture. I can honestly tell you that
I was the *only* one in a (senior) Seminar class of 30 students
who actually understood, (and liked) the syntax and semantics 
of APL.   As I am probably the only student on campus :( who
is interested in the language, I doubt out department is willing
to fork out $2100 for APL2/X for our RS6000; but I'd definately
be interested in a cheaper (free) version to play around with.
If there isn't a freeware version of J or variant or APL around,
I guess I'd be satisfied by some source for a FFT written in
the language.

Thanks!
