I have mentioned that in my experience there are only two basic translation tables needed to support all ASCII APL terminals. The following table shows the differences between the two translations. The codes used with these two terminals types are usually called Key-pairing or Bit-pairing (just why, I'm not sure). The following information should allow someone to convert a translation table from one code to the other, or to make sure that both types of ASCII APL terminals are supported by a given APL interpreter.
