Algorithms Algorithm 177. Externall Ferm Ross J. Bettinger Introduction I have devised a technique by which to transform APL objects (functions and variables) into sequences of ASCII characters suitable for transmission over wide area networks such as BITNET, A R P A N E T , CSNET, etc. I was motivated to investigate this method of transmission by the inevitable intrusion of entropy into human affairs. For example, if one sends a listing of APL objects to Quote Quad for publication via conventional surface mail, the text of the code must be manually entered into a computer for formatting and photocomposition. I know from my own experience how quickly I become fatigued by copying lines of code off paper and typing them into my home computer. I get bored quickly and make lots of errors, The longer I type, the more entropy degrades my work effort. The T e d m i q u e I use STSC's APL*Plus for the IBM P C and compatibles. By using the P C / D O S (or MS/DOS) capability to redirect o u t p u t from STDOUT, I can capture all o u t p u t
