I think that 1.2 is the "current" version (although there might have
been a 1.21).

As far as I know Cognitive Applications have not done anything with
AlphaPop for years... check with them for more details:

    Cognitive Applications Ltd
    4 Sillwood Terrace
    Brighton
    BN1 2LR
    +44 (0) 1273 821600

(hope that address is still correct :-)

Nope. AlphaPop corresponds to rather "old" Poplog Pop-11 version
(probably around V13) --- it doesn't even have lexical variables.

If you have 1.2 - probably not.... I think the old war horse is reaching
the end of its active lifespan. It can't be made to work with MacOS 7.5
without a fairly major rewrite.
