- 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.
