This is my first, recent, forray into an actual application. I've been trying to get here since I found gnu -apl so that I could print out my workpapers for my clients.
I used apl running on a Pr1me computer in the early 80s for much of my work. On my wall is a circuit board for a dot matrix printer that allowed us to print with the apl character set. The printer is long gone as are the reports I created.
One can read my current plans in doc/wp-requjire.muse (a text file). One can play with some test data in wp-data. Each file is a single workpaper, dow, in various forms. apl_comp.sql is a dump of a postgresql data base of the same name. Use pg_restore to loaded into your instance of postgrtesql and workspace cl to get at the test data. dow.html was generated by the function wp-delta-assemble. Excel should be able to load this file. dow.txt was generated by wp-delta-exportTxt and can be loaded into your workspace by wp-delta-importTxt. dow.ses is a simple emacs spreadsheet. If you are using gnu-apl with gnu-apl-mode for emacs you should be able to create a one cell array in apl, edit in emacs, copy and then paste this file.
I think this basic scheme can be extended to other professions. I put it here mostly to show how I'm using the libraries here.
