You are probably aware of POPLOG. It is a software environment running on many UNIX and VMS machines. If you would like to see POPLOG in action then come to the POPLOG Users' Forum conference at Reading University, Berkshire, England this July 19 and 20. Day attendance costs ten pounds, accommodation twenty pounds and an evening "banquet" ten pounds. So the conference is a very cost effective way of getting information about a very effective software environment. If you would like more details then please mail me. Here are some of the things that POPLOG provides. 1) Full on-line documentation. Includes teaching material, help files, reference files and system documentation. The teaching material covers basic programming techniques and AI subjects such as linguistics and vision. 2) The incrementally compiled languages: POP11, PROLOG and COMMON LISP. Object oriented programming is also supported. ML comes as an optional extra. 3) A visual editor which is: a) Sensitive to the languages' syntax, to aid editing. b) Interfaced to the incremental compilers and de-bugging tools, to aid program development. c) Interfaced to the UNIX/VMS command line interpreters to allow system administration from within the POPLOG environment. 4) A generic, networked window interface which is supported by the host machines' window mechanism. X-11 coming soon. 5) Coming soon - a compiler to produce "turn-key" applications code. ... and lots, lots more. Why not come to the conference and give POPLOG a try?
