'''SAX''' ('''S'''HARP '''A'''PL for UNI'''X''') was a version of [[SHARP APL]] offered by [[Soliton Associates]]. Notable features of SAX include [[function rank]], the [[Rank operator]], and [[leading axis theory]], as well as relative [[comparison tolerance]] and [[close composition]] operators including [[Under]].
'''SAX''' ('''S'''HARP '''A'''PL for UNI'''X''') was a version of [[SHARP APL]]. Developed and sold initially by [[IPSA]], it was later offered by [[Soliton Associates]], and eventually became the last active SHARP product. SAX supported most but not all features of the previous SHARP implementation for IBM platforms, with [[complex number]]s being a significant exception. It also included more features from [[A Dictionary of APL]] such as [[Swap]] (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⊃</syntaxhighlight>) and [[From]] (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>{</syntaxhighlight>).<ref>[[Soliton Associates]].
