SAX (SHARP APL for UNIX) 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 numbers being a significant exception. It also included more features from A Dictionary of APL such as Swap (⊃) and From ({).[1]
