[self-interest] Please help with SELF installation

[David Harris]

I did LU decomposition and backward substitution in two lines of APL.  Oh,
and TicTacToe in two lines as well, as I recall.  Of course they weren't
terribly understandable :-)  That was back when we had a IBM370/145 with APL
microcode, and Selectric terminals --- ah, the good ol' days.
