- This is the Mops manual, as of version 2.6, June 1995.
-
- If you are new to Mops, I recommend you tackle it by reading Roadmap,
- and then work through Part I (the Intro and Tutorial). That will give
- you a good start. Then read as much of Part II as you need or feel
- comfortable with. Use Part III as a reference -- don't try to read it
- through.
-
- The Assembler will let you write 68000 machine code, and the Assembler
- manual will give you an introduction to 68000 programming. With the
- arrival of Power Macs, however, the Assembler is less useful than it was,
- since 68k assembly code will only run under emulation on Power Macs. So
- only bother with the Assembler if you have some very low-level
- machine-specific things to do.
-
-
- Finally, please note that I am releasing all original Mops material into
- the public domain. If you want to use it commercially, that's fine, go
- right ahead, but I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know. In
- return I could let you know of any late-breaking bugs/fixes which may be
- very helpful to you. Also, if you want to include Mops in a CD compilation
- of shareware/PD material, that's fine, but it would be good if you could
- send me a complimentary copy of your CD.
-
- I'd also like to know about any other Mops development that anyone feels
- free to let me know about. Even better, if you develop some whiz-bang new
- class or whatever, you could send me a copy and I could make it part of the
- standard Mops release. This has already occurred with significant code being
- contributed by Doug Hoffman, Greg Haverkamp and Xan Gregg. As a one-man
- part-time effort, Mops can't hope to compete with the slick commercial
- products - but with a bit of cooperation from those using it, Mops could
- become a very useful development system, and the price is certainly right.
- (So is the performance, I think you'll find.)

- Internet and Web info for Mops
- ------------------------------
-
- If you have internet access, you'll find Mops discussion in the group
- comp.lang.forth.mac. Feel free to dive in there. Also note that I
- post a FAQ (frequently asked questions) list there every month or so.
- See if you can read the latest version of that before emailing me with
- a problem, since a lot of questions people ask me are already answered
- there. But feel free to email me with compliments at any time!!! :-)
-
- There's a Mops web page at <URL:http://www.netaxs.com/~jayfar/mops.html>.
- This has links to the FAQ and the latest Mops version.
-
- For ftp, the latest version should be at:
- taygeta.oc.nps.navy.mil, directory pub/Forth/Mops
-
- Finally, if you do have to email me with a problem, remember to tell me
- what version you have!
-
-
- I hope you enjoy Mops.
