The POP language group is not the same as POP the "Post Office
Protocol". The most sophisticated version of the Pop languange is
pop-11, which is part of the poplog system.

I have an incomplete draft introduction to Pop-11 which is currently
available via anonymous ftp.

    ftp ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk
    <login as "anonymous" with password your email address>
    cd pub/dist/papers
    get primer.Z
    quit

then
    uncompress primer

The online "HELP" and "REF" files in Poplog give complete
documentation. However Poplog is quite a big system and costs
some money.

In the USA contact
    pop@cs.umass.edu

for information, evaluation licences, etc.
