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. <div>

<p>Can't help you too much, but if you want to be clever, write it in a dynamic language like APL or Smalltalk! (Or Lisp...)</p><div><br></div><div>- David</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Feb 9, 2011, at 3:40 AM, Prescilla wrote:</div>

Hello there. My name is Ms. Prescilla and I am writing to ask for help<br>
with SELF installation. I have been searching the web for days now<br>
trying to find help with the installation but to no avail.<br>
<br>
I have not used SELF before and I need to try it now because I am<br>
required (school project) to write an interpreter for it.<br>
<br>
I am currently using Ubuntu 9.10. I have downloaded the self VM and<br>
snapshot installers from this link:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://selflanguage.org/download/index.html" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://selflanguage.org/download/index.html" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://selflanguage.org/download/index.html" target="_blank">http://selflanguage.org/download/index.html</a><br>
<br>
I have downloaded Self-4.4.tar.gz and Demo.snap. When I extracted the<br>
Self-4.4.tar.gz, I got a folder with 4 files in it: ._INSTALL,<br>
.INSTALL, .SELF and ._SELF. I tried to open/run all 4 but nothing<br>
happened. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I am missing<br>
something.<br>
<br>
Please if anyone can help me, please please send me a message. I would<br>
really really appreciate it.<br>
<br>
Thank you and have a nice day. God Bless.<br>
<br>
Prescilla<br>
