   This was Ken Iverson's original 1962 book which is rather far from   
   even early APL implementations.   
   [Iverson's book is sort of the opposite of a history.  It's about how one   
   might write a language like APL.  It is my impression that people were   
   surprised how well it turned into a working language, with excellent   
   multi user performance on late 1960s mainframes. -John]
