The "LIST of PROLOGs" was started by Randy Harr (then at CWRU) and myself, largely from the USENET and ARPANET computer networks. It's grown over the last couple of years, with help from numerous Prolog folks. The list emphasizes Prolog systems that are currently available. Also, I've tried to note which vendors offer educational discounts. There are a lot of new Prolog systems being announced, with rumors of still more on the way. In particular, I expect that this list'll be very much out of date after this summer's Logic Programming Symposium and, of course, IJCAI. Please let me know of any additions or corrections to the list. Sorry, but I didn't have time to verify all the information. Some of the entries are also over a year old and are likely out of date. _____________________________ Bruce T.
