Well, I think the number 2 question for the FAQ has just been raised :-
    "Can I get POP for my MS-DOS/Macintosh/Archimedes/..."

I only know of one implementation for the PC and that's one called
GLOW.  I've only seen this system reviewed once in (wait for it ...)
the UK section of Byte magazine & no one I know has tried it out.
Alas, I've lost the relevant article.  So, please please will someone
post the contact details for the GLOW implementation?

Incidentally, GLOW is a fairly major deviant from the "mainstream" of
Pop languages.
