The '''ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad''', formerly '''APL Quote-Quad''', was an APL newsletter published by [[SIGAPL]], part of the [[wikipedia:Association for Computing Machinery|Association for Computing Machinery]]. Started as '''SHARE*APL\360''' by its initial editor and distributor, [[Garth Foster]], Quote Quad was the foremost source for news about APL during its early development as a programming language. Proceedings from most [[APL conference]]s were issued by Quote Quad. Quote Quad and the APL conference gradually became less prominent in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and [[Vector journal]] took on the role of primary APL publication. The last issue of Quote Quad was volume 35, issue 4 in December 2007. | The '''ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad''', formerly '''APL Quote-Quad''', was an APL newsletter published by [[SIGAPL]], part of the [[wikipedia:Association for Computing Machinery|Association for Computing Machinery]].

The first [[wikipedia:Association for Computing Machinery|ACM]]-affiliated Quote-Quad publication was a reprint of volume 2, number 2, in the September 1970 issue of ''SIGPLAN Notices'' (the original had been published by Foster in July 1970).<ref>ACM ''SIGPLAN Notices'' [https://dl.acm.org/toc/sigplan/1970/5/9 Volume 5, Issue 9]. 1970-09.</ref> The reprint followed a request from the APL community for a Special Interest Group for APL ([[SIGAPL]]) to be formed under the ACM, which was denied on the basis that SIGPLAN, a special interest group for all programming languages, already existed.

In 1973, the organization now known as [[SIGAPL]] was formed as a SIGPLAN Technical Committee, called STAPL. It began publishing the Quote Quad as a membership benefit with volume 4, in 1973. | |||
