In Directory ``wss'' (work_spaces):
(Things are arranged by operating system.)

    apl2tex.atf
    	A workspace for APL2/32 for the IBM PC
        saved in extended transfer form and contains the APL
        frontend of the APL typesetting system ported to the PC.
    
    apl2tex.atf.uue

    	A uuencoded version of the above workspace 

    apl2tex2.pduue

	is a uuencoded workspace for apl.68000 Level II for the MacIntosh
        saved in extended transfer form and contains the APL
        frontend of the APL typesetting system ported to the MAC.
        The MACFILE and the TOOLS workspaces distributed by MicroAPL
        must be copied into the workspace.
        

   APL2TEX.APLTF

	The exended transfer form of an IBM APL2 mainframe workspace
	for the CMS operating system.  It contains the APL frontend for
	the APL typesetting system implemented in IBM's APL2.

	Caution: In order to use it with another APL interpreter
	certain parts of the code must be adapted.

   apl2tex.apltf.uue

		The uuencoded version of the above file.


In Directory ``docs'':

     apl2tex.tex

		The user documentation of the above workspace(s).
		This uses latex and the style file "apl.sty", below. 

    uueoncms.tex

		A version of the unix utility uuencode that runs on
		CMS.  UUE and UUD are used as tools to wrap and unwrap
		binary files (such as workspaces and transfer files)
		that are shipped via e-mail and through gateways from
		one network to another.
		This also uses latex and the style file "apl.sty", below. 

    	apl.sty 

		The LaTeX style file needed for typesetting APL 
		characters.   It is intended to contain the macro
		definitions all APL characters used by all major
		APL dialects. 

     apl_tug.tex

		The LaTeX source of the paper `A LaTeX Document
		Style Option for Typesetting APL' published in:
		TUGboat, Vol. 11, 1990, No. 4.

    tubguide.tex

		The TeX source of the paper `Tugboat Authors' Guide'
		by Ron Whitney and Barbara Beeton.

    tugboat.sty
    tugboat.com
		Two other files needed by tubguide.tex.

    apl2texw.tex

		Listing of functions in the ws APL2TEX.  The output
		uses the technology.  It looks great.

    apl2texi.tex

		Expanded listing of functions in the ws APL2TEX.
		Includes references, protocol, syntax, static
		function call heierarchy.  
		Related material.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The authors would appreciate receiving APL implementations of the 
APL frontend in other APL dialects and notifications concerning 
any APL symbols not already defined in the apl.sty.
