I have had this question from Austin tate who has been playing with
windows poplog V15.5

On unix/linux it would be
systranslate('usepop')=>
but I expect that does not work on windows, and don't have time to try
just now.

When I last tried ENTER dired, and ENTER ls,
in windows poplog neither worked.
Is there an alternative that does work?
If possible please copy replies to A.Tate AT ed.ac.uk
I presume this may one day be fixed by the proposal to use cygwin
to make unix/linux poplog work on windows.
Austin has kindly made available his nonlin (heirarchical non-linear)
planning package originally developed in pop2, then converted to pop-11
then I think replaced by O-plan
It was last run in pop-11 in poplog version 13.
I've produced a version of nonlin that at least compiles and seems to
run in the current pop-11 (it requires restoring some old pop2 defaults
in lieu of doing a lot of editing of source code).
If anyone wants to play with it, it can be found here:
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/nonlin.tar.gz
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/nonlin.zip
It comes with no guarantees and still needs documentation and tutorial
material, but may be useful for someone familiar with the history of AI
planning techniques, in which nonlin (based on Austin's PhD nearly 30
years ago) had a notable role.
There's a lisp version of nonlin with a lot of documentation here:
http://www.cs.umd.edu/projects/plus/Nonlin/
Google can point you are more things to do with nonlin
and its successor o-plan.
Thanks.
