AP File - opening and understanding
Did your computer fail to open an AP file? We explain what they are used for and recommend software that we know can open or otherwise handle your .AP files.
What is an AP file?
An .AP file is an ALICE: The Personal Pascal Program file. These AP files contain the programs edited in ALICE: The Personal Pascal Program, a syntax-directed editor. This software is used to edit the program itself and not a piece of text. This reduces the chances of getting a syntax error. Instead of working with code lines, you work with terms, expressions, statements, and blocks.
