XPL0 Programming under WindowsThis version of XPL0 runs under 64-bit Windows 7-11. It runs the Sieve benchmark 20 times faster than it runs under DOSBox. Integers are 64 bits long. It is assumed here that you have some experience with one of the other versions of XPL0. This XPLW version is still evolving and will be frequently updated. Currently there is no manual but the manuals for the Raspberry Pi and DOS versions cover 95% of its features. Download xplw.zip (488k, 10-Jun-2026).
