74.0. "POP-11 ?" by NOVA::GIOIELLI () Thu Dec 05 1985 10:02

Can anyone provide pointers to reference material, sources, kits, etc.
for the POP-11 language ? 

It's one of the languages offered by System Designers Software as 
part of their POPLOG environment (LISP and PROLOG being the others). 
I believe it originated in the U.K.

On the surface it appears to be Pascal-like, but has pattern matching 
and list processing facilities as well.

	It was designed at the University of Edinborough. They
do a lot of AI work there.

	You could try contacting their computer department
directly, or the local DEC office might be able to help. Try
OSPREY::STUBBS (if he is still there).

That's "EDINBURGH", Dave... you've been in France too long.

Is POP-11 a PDP-11 implementation of POP-2?

	Yes, it's the same thing (or maybe just a different way
of writing "2", as in microvax :-) ).

	We used to have a copy of it in the Epsom office 11/45,
but I doubt it is still there, since that would have been before
you graduated.
