Apology

Unfortunately we inadvertently published the wrong clues in the printed version of Vector 16.2 – so this issue’s crossword is a repeat of last time’s.

Note:
The clues for the crossword contain some APL characters. These are coded as APL2741 (available as a 35K download), and also with <CODE> tags. The mapping is compatible with both the APL2000 font and the current Dyalog font.
