APL2
From EDM2
A development system from IBM that aimed to combine all their previous and diverse APL offerings into one coherent product line. Initially only available for OS/2 but eventually was available for all mini and mainframe operating systems from IBM in addition to Microsoft Windows and most Unix platforms as well, there was also a version available for DOS that was slightly simpler than the other offerings.
IBM still offers APL2 but now only in versions for the various mainframe/zSeries, AIX, Solaris, x86/AMD64 Linux and MS Windows.
