Subject:Startup Poplog Inquiries 
From:Neil Nelson 
Volume-ID:1010508.01 

I was just trying to download free Poplog from

http://www.poplog.org/resources/freepoplog.html#linux

using the Linux with Motif option but
nothing is downloaded, and when I try to connect to

http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/freepoplog.html

I get connection refused.  Perhaps it is a temporary
problem.

I am thinking about Poplog because it includes common
AI languages: Pop-11, Lisp, Prolog, ML, (and Scheme?),
has a system command subsystem (hopefully for bash too
or can be made so), and has socket capability.

The idea, and please let me know how far wrong I am, is
to use Poplog to build an AI that would control all or
all significant software applications on my computer
inluding Internet access. E.g., C and C++ are very primary
languages and it seems as if there must be a way of, say,
building a C program in Poplog using AI techniques, and
then compiling and executing the program via some
instruction in Poplog. And then we should be able to do
the same for Java, Fortran, Octave, etc. And then there
should be a method of passing parameters or information
between these various language subsystems.

Thank you,

Neil Nelson
