Re: [Bug-apl] Inverse Tranfer Form fails to reconstruct variable

[Frederick H. Pitts]

Hello Juergen,

        Please see the third paragraph of the 'Informal Description' of 11.6.6
Transfer Form in ISO/IEC 13751:2000(E), page 185 and the example
presented in 'Creating the Inverse Transfer Form' in "APL2 Programming:
Language Reference", page 339.  Both references indicate the Inverse
Transfer Form expect the right hand argument to be the result of having
performed the forward Transfer Form, not the variable name the result
was assigned to.

        Is anyone actively working on build a regression suite using -T?

Regards,

Fred
