	Okay, here's something I've been curious about for a while. I
downloaded MOPS when I saw it, and paged quickly through the manual,
decided that it was very similar to Yerk, and filed it away on an
archive disk somewhere (as my hard drive is crammed to the rafters).
What, exactly are the differences between Yerk and MOPS? The manual
sorta said, but it mostly seemed to be identical to the Yerk manual.
	BTW, I agree that Yerk is a very flexible and deceptively
simple OOL. I get this disconcerting feeling (just like when I'm using
SmallTalk) that I'm not really doing any development at all.
