Hi,
I have changed the code so that ⎕PW is not copied when no objects are specified in the )COPY command, SVN As much as I like IBM APL2 compatibility there is a limit to it when it begins to make no sense anymore. For example if I would say: )COPY some_WS A B ⎕PW then IBM APL2 would copy A and B but not ⎕PW. This is rather counter-intuitive and I take the freedom to copy ⎕PW in GNU APL even though IBM APL2 would not. When it comes to commands, the ISO standard explicitly leaves a lot of freedom to their implementation. /// Jürgen On 07/02/2014 05:01 AM, Blake McBride wrote:
