- 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:

- 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.)
