APL+Win Intro

APL+Win is the Windows version of APL+.

APL+Win Release 1 was first introduced in 1995.

APL+Win has replaced APL+Dos. APL+Win is a 32-bit APL interpreter supported under all 32 bit versions of Windows (95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003). With APL+Win one may develop extremely sophisticated and fast Windows applications (see an example).

APL+Win supports the following technologies:

DDE
DLL (32-bit)
OCX
ActiveX
TCP/IP
Drag & Drop
GDI Graphics
ODBC (through APL+Link Pro)
ADO
Call Assembler routines
Full access to Windows API
Client Server Development

Here are a few things you can do with APL+Win:

rapidly develop Windows applications
easily test and maintain your applications (there is a powerful debuger available)
make complex calculations quickly on very large amounts of data
handle very large amounts of data (variable size limited only by memory)
easily automate the process of creating HTML & XML files
create your own Objects or Objects library
directly interface to Excel, Word, Powerpoint
pilot Excel, Word, Powerpoint, etc. from your APL+Win applications
print Excel-quality reports
directly use and maintain any SQL database
use its internal powerful Grid object
write an efficient Web Server
