Unbox is a GPLv3 licensed version of the J programming language interpreter derived from the initial J Software source release. The goals of this project are to provide bug fixes in the short term and language enhancements and new features in the long term. Although this is intended to be used as a drop in replacement for the J shared library the behavior of the interpreter and the definition of the language itself will likely diverge from the official J Software version over time.

I do not have access to a Mac and have not tried building this yet. If you are a Mac user, please test and report your results and I will update this section.
To run the test suite set the CONFIG_TEST=y in tup.config and rerun tup.
If a test fails run bin/jconsole -debug test/<path-to-test> to see where the failure is occuring.
