[Apologies if anyone gets this twice, news problems] I have a pop11 mode for emacs. Pop11 is a language used for AI, mostly in the UK. Along with this I have an interface to the `poplog[*]' implementation of pop11 which allows for all the usual things like loading chunks of code into poplog and a quite strange word completion system which queries poplog to find possible completions. Also there is an interface to the poplog help system, complete with apropos. Basically a complete replacement for the Ved editor normally used with poplog. My question is simply should I bother posting it. This should all be in the contributed software in the next release of poplog, and Pop11 users are a limited audience. However I hate to think of any poor poplers out there deprived of the joys of emacs, and anyway there may be could in there which more normal emacs hackers could pinch, for instance pop11 has an extremely non-C like, extensible syntax so I implemented a possibly useful configurable indentation scheme. The more sharable software out there the better. Being terminally indecisive, I thought I'd ask and see if anyone has any strong opinions. It's your bandwidth, email me and let me know. If there is a strong positive responce I'll stick it on gnu.emacs.sources. [*] Poplog is a commercial product, and this being the gnusnet I'll say no more. If you need to ask you probably don't want to know anyway. -- rjc@cstr.ed.ac.uk Pop+emacs+tex+X11, virtual memory, the final frontier.
