If you are interested in how I organized my APL environment, see below. For my needs I have one organization that is quite portable. All my own libraries are within the ${HOME}/.gnu-apl
My desire was to have a single directory for my apl workspaces, preferences, keyboard layouts, etc.
I chose to create lib-0 as a directory within the .gnu-apl directory and similarly for the other libraries.
My own gnu-apl tarfile is attached. It can be "un-tared" (suggest you backup your own .gnu-apl directory first.
One
tar file gnu-apl.tar backs up all my own workspaces, parameter
settings and with some trivial edit of the preferences file, can be
moved to any computer. (I actually move it from desktop to laptop) and
never worry about a forgotten workspace.
I attached a tar file with a renamed copy of my .gnu-apl directory. There are no proprietary contents.
I include an explanation of it's organization below my signature.
Happy with the way you structured your APL environment, just delete this email and the attachment.
