- [comp.mail: This is cross-posted from comp.lang.pop, where
- people are wondering if it's about the Post Office Protocol.]
-
- Hello --
-
- POP the Post Office Protocol is a very fine thing, but please
- don't discuss it here, which is about Pop11, the symbolic
- programming language, and related issues.
-
- Yes, there's a name clash because both had a thing called
- POP2. It doesn't matter. The protocol is on POP3, the
- language is at Pop11, the language system is called POPLOG.
-
- If you want to know more about the protocol, please read
- 1225 Rose, M.T. Post Office Protocol: Version 3. 1991 May;
- 16 p. (Format: TXT=37340 bytes)

- Thank you.
