'Lo, gang:

   I am a CS major writing a paper on the strengths and weaknesses of the 
LOOPS language and am seeking reference material for it.  I also am personally 
looking for something to supplement my MuLISP and am looking to see if there 
is a LOOPS package for the MS-DOS platform, or at least for a manual.
   Unfortunately, the support I've received from XEROX was short of
pathetic;  All their branch offices knew nothing about anything about 
any LOOPS programming language, and referred me to their documentation
division, who said basically, "If you don't have the inventory number
for that manual, then don't bother us."  This is from an business
organization that SELLS products?!?
   So, I am now appealing to the LOOPS user base for help.  Does anyone
out there know where I can FTP or purchase a manual, or can at least tell
me what their inventory number for the LOOPS manual ("The LOOPS manual",
Xerox Corp., 1983) is?  I appreciate any info you can give me.  Thanx.
