we took the apl\360 (real memory swapping) monitor from phili science center ... and ported it to cms virtual memory environment. also added semantics for cms\apl to invoke system functions. this last caused some amount of heart burn with the original theorists ... which wasn't resolve until shared variables were introduced to supplant the cms\apl implementation for accessing system functions.
some large numbe of past postings on apl &/or a major deployed application service environment based on apl http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#hone
for a little related topic drift ... later got to do some work on the
original relational/sql implementation at sjr ... also done in cms
virtual memory environment
