For the benefit of netters who aren't familiar with the Pop family, I'd
like to add that POP-11 (Poplog's version) is currently viewed as the
most advanced and "definite" version. However, there's an interesting
Expert System development environment called MUSE which uses a Pop
variant: PopTalk -- a commercial object-oriented Pop derivative
available from Cambridge Consultants. I think PopTalk is written in C
and is therefore likely to be portable to a variety of platforms. But
I've no up to date info on this & I don't think that CCL is on the net.
When I am recovered from this wretched cold I'll make an effort to
chase up this info and add it to the proto-FAQ.

Definitely called GLOW. Definitely on the PC. Reviewed in the UK section
which is why no one spotted it.

So, Chris, when is Pepper going public? (Karl?? Oh, Karl Popper.)
