POPLOG, which includes Common Lisp, Pop-11, Prolog and ML, has been
ported to DECStation. However we are not releasing it just yet
because of bugs in ultrix that cause problems. (Dynamically linked
libraries not working, and the Ultrix memory manager allowing the
shared segment to be corrupted by user programs). We hope the bugs
are fixed in Ultrix 4.0, for which DEC have promised us a field test
version.
