Abstract

A set of programming tools for APL programmers is described. One group of tools helps the reader understand APL by taking advantage of special features of communication terminals, as well as using nontraditional approaches toward program listings, and nonverbal communication methods. Another group of tools rewrites portions of APL programs in order to eliminate stumbling blocks to effective communication.
