The Mops Page

Mops is Michael Hore's robust and powerful public-domain development system for the Macintosh. With Forth and Smalltalk parentage, Mops has extensive OOP capabilities including multiple inheritance, and a class library supporting the Macintosh interface.

Speaking of Forth reminds of my time at Dragon Data as the lead software designer for the Dragon Data Ltd DRAGON 32 / 64. The M6809 implementation of Forth ruuning on the Dragon was a nice development environment. I still have a soft spot for the Motorola 6809E - a lovely 8-bit architecture and probably the only processor with a SEX instruction ;-). One of these days I will need to write up my experiences whilst at Dragon. In the meantime any reader with way too much time on their hands can check out Google Search: Dragon 32 Smeed.

Coincidentally, a Google search with the words Smeed and Dragon will find a mention of my cousin Michelle who is heavily involved in Dragon Boat racing. Michelle helped with the staging of the first World Championships held outside of the Far East.

But the best known member of my immediate family is my uncle - Vic Smeed a famous model designer and author.
