Hi Blake,
Congratulations! A small comment from my side. I have seen that the workspace that you provide was )SAVEd (and therefore is an .xml file). This filetype is kind of dying out. It will remain in GNU APL for quite some time, but I can't guarantee that workspaces )SAVEd with different versions of GNU APL can be interchanged without problems. The only advantage of )SAVE over )DUMP is that the )SI stack is stored in addition to variables and functions. The structure of the )SI stack might change, however, and then the xml files may become incompatible. For libraries there is no need for a non-empty )SI stack. The file format created by )DUMP is pure APL code which is much more portable between different versions of GNU APL. In addition, this format can be displayed on web pages and read/modified in text editors. The )LOAD and )COPY commands in GNU APL understand both formats, so the usage remains the same. /// Jürgen On 05/25/2014 10:51 PM, Blake McBride wrote:
