I've never heard of MPW. However the Brighton based company
Cognitive Applications Ltd produced an implementation of Pop-11
called Alphapop, which was, I think, very favourably reviewed in
Byte around May 1986 by Dick Pountain.

I think the price has dropped substantially since those days,
especially for academics, though development froze some years ago,
and it is now only a small though very usable subset of Poplog
Pop-11. For more information contact:

Cognitive Applications Ltd

Brighton

I believe that CogAPP not only sell it but also use it for quite a
lot of their Mac-based consultancy work, including an information
system for the National Gallery. (I am trying to recall what I was
told a couple of years ago. Someone may have more up to date
information.)
