- The Manugistics [STSC] compiler runs on the mainframe and the compiled
- code uses interpreter services, and so runs only from within APL*PLUS;
- I believe there are some restrictions on what can be compiled (maybe
- just that the execute primitive can't be used).
-
- The IBM compiler marketed by Interprocess Systems also runs on the
- mainframe (but probably could be ported, with some effort, to any
- environment supporting []NA), produces FORTRAN as its intermediate
- code (and so requires a FORTRAN compiler); it compiles classical "flat"
- APL -- no nested arrays, also no execute and no shared variables -- but
- the compiler itself is written in APL2.
