POP-2 silver book

[John Forecast]

Since the topic of POP-2 doesn’t come up very often… In the early 1970’s I had a listing of “Pop-2 in Pop-2”, a portable compiler written in itself. Over the years I’ve managed to lose it. Would anyone here have a copy?

  John.

He was quite a character! Died some years ago I heard.  Interestingly, he never attained his PHd. Rumor was the had the whole thesis typed up (on typewriters in those days) and was going to continue working on editing on a boat. Well you know what happened next, water 1, thesis 0.
