Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME: APL-E, Version 10, KA10 Extended APL System
DESCRIPTION:
APL (A Programming Language) is a concise programming language suitable for manipulating numeric
and character array-structured data. It includes operators for array calculations. APL-E is an extended
APL system for the KA 1O-based DECsystem-10. It is a
conversational system which allows the programmer
to interact with the APL system and running programs.
Features:
• Multiple statements can appear in a single line.
• Statement branching can occur anywhere in a
statement line.
• The system provides immediate-mode line editing
of complex APL expressions.
• The language permits user-controlled tab positioning for I/O operations.
• System command formats use standard DECsystem-10 file conventions.
• The user's active workspace size is dynamically
variable.
• The workspace symbol table size is dynamically
variable.
• The user workspace can be saved on disk, DECtape, or magnetic tape.
• The language includes the extended single operators Divide-Quad, Execute, Quote, and Dyadic-Format, which allow the user to:
1. solve a set of linear equations
2. take the inverse of a matrix
3. solve an over-determined set of linear equations
4. perform unlimited evaluation of a character
string (commands, function definitions, statement lines)
5. write user-defined functions to perform output
formatting and function editing
• User-level file access is provided for:
1. standard ASCII sequential files
2. internal format random access files
3. internal format sequential files
4. immediate mode output to any suitable device
through OUTPUT command
Restrictions:
• The system does not provide double-precision data

manipulation.
The extended APL system code is sharable and resides in the DECsystem-10 high segment. The high
segment is 24K 36-bit words. Each user's low segment contains approximately 7,500 characters of system variables plus the user's workspace area (which
is dynamically variable). User workspaces are
typically 5 to 6K words in size.

MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIRED:
Any valid DECsystem-1.0 configuration which includes:
• a KA 10 central processor
• 30K words user memory
• 33K words minimum permanent file storage
• standard ASCII or 2741 hard-copy or display terminal
OPTIONAL HARDWARE:
Supports any unit record, terminal or mass storage
device supported by the TOPS-1 0 operating system.
PREREQUISITE SOFTWARE:
TOPS-10 operating system, Version 6.02 or later
OPTIONAL SOFTWARE:
None
TRAINING CREDITS:

ADDENDUM
SOFTWARE SUPPORT CATEGORIES
Each software product (hereinafter 'SOFTWARE') with a designated Support Category A or 8 in the applicable Software Product
Description (SPD) existing at the time of order will be the current release at the time of delivery and will conform to the SPD.
DIGITAL's sole obligation shall be to correct defects (nonconformance of the SOFTWARE to the SPD) as described below. Any
SOFTWARE with a deSignated Support Category C will be furnished on an 'as is' basis.
For SOFTWARE with a deSignated Support Category A or 8, DIGITAL will provide the services set forth below without additional
charge.
CATEGORY A
1. Upon notification by customer to the nearest DIGITAL office that the computer system, including all required prerequisite
hardware and software, is ready for the installation of the SOFTWARE, DIGITAL will install such SOFTWARE in any location
within the contiguous forty-eight (48) United States, the District of Columbia, or a country in which DIGITAL or a subsidiary
of DIGITAL has a software service facility. The notification must be received by DIGITAL and the system must be ready for
installation within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the SOFTWARE to customer or DIGITAL will have no obligation to
install. Installation will consist of: (1) verification that all components of the SOFTWARE have been received by customer, (2)
loading the SOFTWARE, and (3) executing a DIGITAL sample procedure.
2. During the ninety (90) day period after installation, if the customer encounters a problem with the current unaltered release
of the SOFTWARE which DIGITAL determines to be a defect in the SOFTWARE, DIGITAL will provide the following remedial
service (on site where necessary): (1) if the SOFTWARE is inoperable, apply a temporary correction (TC) or make a
reasonable attempt to develop an emergency by-pass, and (2) assist the customer to prepare a Software Performance
Report (SPR) and submit it to DIGITAL.
3. During the one (1) year period following installation, if the customer encounters a problem with the SOFTWARE which his
diagnosis indicates is caused by a SOFTWARE defect, the customer may submit an SPR to DIGITAL. DIGITAL will respond
to problems reported in SPRs which are caused by defects in the current unaltered rele9se of the SOFTWARE via the
Maintenance Periodical for the SOFTWARE, which reports SPRs received, code corrections, temporary corrections, generally
useful emergency by-passes and/or notice of the availability of corrected code. Software Updates, if any, released by
