[apluslist] Random link problem

[Vladimir N. Kutinsky]

Oskar,

If I get you right, your problem can be solved using both a random-link
variable (`rl) and a random-link command ($rl). Here's an example:

	myRL<-`rl
	$rl myRL
	?10 10 10
3 6 7
	$rl myRL
	?10 10 10
3 6 7
	?10 10 10
5 3 5

Hope this helps,
Vladimir

Subject: [apluslist] Random link problem

In all APLs I'd worked with [Sharp APL, APL*PLUS, APL2], quad-RL could be
referenced, but, according to the reference manual, in A+ `rl cannot.
 
Since I've a program which does a random search and runs maybe a couple of
days before it hits on something I'm looking for, I'd like to be able to get
somehow the value of `rl at that time so that I could restart the search
just from there on, and I don't have to repeat the whole run first...
 
Am I missing something or can't it really just not be done?
 
Thanks.
