Well it took a whole 5 days for the first one to come, which isn't
bad I suppose :-)

I guess I'm gonna have to put this in as the 0th item in the faq
(I've already got 4 others).

Here's the comp.lang.pop charter:

    The group would serve for discussions on the programming language
    Pop11, and related environments, libraries, languages and the Plug
    User Group.

    Relevant topics, in this group, would cover all aspects of Pop11
    programming (from novice questions to expert efficiency issues) and
    the current BSI standards effort (Pop9x), and how it relates to
    other languages of this type (e.g. GLOW, Pepper).

    Also relevant would be conversations about the Poplog programming
    environment and its libraries. Eg.

    OOP in Pop11 Flavours, or objectclass etc. and how they relate to
        other OOP languages (C++, CLOS etc.)
    X windows hacking in Pop11
    Mixed language programming (eg. between Lisp/Pop11/Prolog/ML/C etc.)
        that is supported in Poplog but isn't relevant for discussion in
        other, pure language, groups
    Techniques for Artificial Intelligence programming (it is an AI
        language after all :)

    and so on.

    The group would be gatewayed, at Univ. of Sussex, onto the mailing
    list for the industrial members with no internet access.
