[HECnet] Re: APL help needed

Hi, A bit late catching the APL train here. A while back, I tried installing APL040 from the Dec 1994 media collection on VAX/VMS 7.3. It failed with 'font files not found' after loading everything from the save-sets so it didn't commit anything to their installed locations. I was less interested then because, at the time, I didn't have a real VTxxx terminal capable of handling it... and I don't care for DECwindows (though it was loaded at the time as a prerequisite). Now that I have the terminal capable of handling downloadable fonts, I'm tempted to try again. Does that error message jog any memories - workarounds or verdicts (it's just broken) ?

This is a bit OT. I've been attempting to build APL-11 for a machine with neither FPP nor FIS, and have hit a wall. I get multiple "Z" errors from the assembler, which is flagging instructions whose behaviors differ between PDP-11 models. Has anyone built this from source for something without FPP/FIS? This is driving me nuts.
