I found this conversation a year or so ago...
post:
Long ago I found an IBM 360 emulator written in 2 pages of APL and published
in some technical magazine. Anyone recall this and have a copy? (I've found websites with copies of similar articles, but lacked the straight-up APL code.)
reply:
You're not thinking of Falkoff/Iverson/Sussenguth's A Formal Description of SYSTEM/360, are you?

answer:
Close, but not quite.
As I recall (some 20 years ago) it had two pages of actual APL code
(not notation, real runnable code).

I have possessed a copy of the Falkoff/Iverson Formal Description of
System/360 for a long time, yet have never seen the 2-page emulator
program writtne in APL this guy is talking about. Does anyone on
comp.lang.apl know anything about this?
