I have now tried to make it easier to navigate the main Overview file
for the Free Poplog site:
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/freepoplog.html
Including giving pointers to the browsable directories:
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/freepoplog.html#browsable
For instance it now points you at the string manipulation and xml
libraries previously circulated by Steve Leach and saved at the
site.
And a draft, still messy html user-guide hastily derived
from the old "man" file:
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/userguide.html
Comments and suggestions always welcome (though don't expect
instant action).
All this is a late response to Chris Glur who wrote (cglur@onwe.co.za):

I hope this helps.
