APL language

[William B. Lurie]

From time to time, I am obliged to run some old DOS-based
software, programming in the APL language, which worked
fine through Windows 98. As is well known, there
is no comparable DOS mode in newer Windows systems, and
problems develop. I can still run all my programs under XP,
but the on-screen characters are not the 'special APL
characters' generated by a subroutine which is normally
called before energizing the main APL interpreters.

Would anybody happen to have experience with this?
Or could somebody take a look at the subroutine I put
on my website and make any comments you'd deem helpful?
(I am aware that I could set up a drive in my PC with
WIN 98 on it and work back and forth......but that
presents some inconveniences).

Thank you.
I'll dig in there.....but I don't think it's modern enough
to include NT-based Windows.
