- Really the title says it all - is there an ftp'able version of POP-11 or
- similar for MS-DOS? Efforts to find it through archie etc have failed.
- (Or is it copyright and am I being dumb?)
-
- So far as I know, there are no FTP'able versions of Pop at all. Pop also tends
- not to run on MS-DOS machines, historically (I think) because of their pig-poor
- addressing and underpowered CPUs; this has changed recently. (Poplog does run
- on Sequent Symmetrys, which are high-end *86's. I think.)
-
- Pop is available
-
- * inside Poplog, which runs on various Unix engines and VMS; perhaps
- some other systems which Aaron or Steve can remind me of;
-
- * as AlphaPop, which runs on the Mac;
-
- There's also a Pop look-a-bit-like called Glo (Glow?) which, I *think*, runs on
- the PC; there was a review in Byte a few months back.
-
- Some person somwhere was rumoured to be doing a Pop look-fairly-like called
- Saffron, or Karl, or Salt. Something like that. But I don't think they've done
- anything with it recently. Lazy frogs.
