Hello all,

Gnu-APL (svn 996) yields the following:

)help ⊤
dyadic function: Z ← A ⊤ B (Encode)
Z is the representation of A in the number system whose radices are
B

and

)help ⊥
dyadic function: Z ← A ⊥ B (Decode)
Z is the values of array A evaluated in a number system with
radices B

The 'A' and 'B' in the second line of each )help output needs
to be swapped to be consistent with "APL2 Programming:
Language Reference", page 90 and 116.

Regards

Fred

Hello again,

Please ignore the previous email. I now see corrections were
made somewhere between svn 996 and 1003. My bad.

Regards,

Fred
