Mongo was written by J. Tonry and is available from him (MIT).
It is not public domain.  It is used mostly in astrophysical
circles.

However, you may be better off getting "SM" which has very similar
syntax to that of Mongo but is better in several respects:
it is written in C, has many drivers (most laser printers),
macro capability. I've used both Mongo and SM and strongly
favor SM. It is not public domain but authors (Lupton & Monger) provide
generous site license. Contact rhl@astro.princeton.edu.
