There was the LA37 if I remember right. In any case, I know APL-11 has ASCII substitutes,

Just a suggestion - you might try installing
Johnny's RPM on a simulated
PDP11 w/FPP first, just to be sure it works and that you aren't doing
something else wrong. Then try building the non-FPP version and replace the
existing TSK file with that.
I installed it on my 11/83 at home, which has an FPP. It runs fine there.
And a question - do you have an APL terminal
too? I think DEC did make
some with the APL character set, but they were very rare. Or is there some
hack for doing APL with standard ASCII (although it would be hard to think
of it as APL in that case).
We don't have an APL terminal, but APL-11 can use standard ASCII, or a VT-220 (etc)
with a downloadable font.
