Yes, my NewsServer is down too and I don't much like goog's 
web-based facility.

I welcome Waldek's contribution.
So far I just fetched the first 8 files: all maths related.
OK, it's best to start with 'hello world', but IMO poplog really
shines for AI.   Hopefully we can have some 'AI' contributions.
Or even better, collaboratively evolve some ?
So I revived my v15.53 installation.

chroot  <old partition/installation>  <previous start script>
    I recently found allows running the good old stuff [installed 
on a RedHat 6.2 partition].

I've been waiting some years for 'you boys' on comp.lang.pop to
stop trying to port poplog to every platform and put effort rather
into developing some more AI examples.  [these boys who spend
every weekend polishing their vehicles, but never make a journey]

In trying to linearise the sequence of topics to handle, I stumbled
on Evans/Analogy.  Amazing !  IMO this is what poplog is about:
refined code to allow comparing the closness of similarity of turtle
diagrams.

Q - how can I capture the output of analogy?evans which scrolls
past ?  When output.p is less than a full screen, I just cutNpaste
to my notes file.

File: output.p, in chroot's home has been written by other
exercises, but not analogy?evans.

Thanks,
