Fellow MITREites, <with the above 'Distribution: mitre' annotation this won't leave the complex, even in net.ai> Prof. Kowalski gave the local ACM chapter's first Professional Development Seminar of the season. A copy of the view-graphs are available for viewing in my office, 2k153 (call first). Kowalski's brothers, who are Progrmming Logic Systems Inc. of Milford CT, were there as his 'demonstration assistants'. They distributed product literature and a 'special price list' for seminar attendees. Anyone considering the purchase of any of their products during April should copy the order forms I have, to save a hundred or three. For that matter, if anyone in the company already has APES for MS-DOS, I'd be interested in getting a cheap same-site-multi-license. The prices for Logic Programming Associates Ltd. products, good for 30 days, with "ACM-MASS" on order form, are: micro-Prolog 3.1 for MS-DOS: $200 regularly: $295 APES (Augmented Prolog for Expert Systems) under MS-DOS & micro-Prolog: $250 $295 both: $400 $495 Sigma Prolog for UNIX sigma-Prolog is integrated with unix, with many hooks. VAX $1250 $1500 68000 (didn't ask) $ 695 APES for Sigma: VAX $1250 $1500 68000 (didn't ask) $ 695 Combination: VAX $2250 $2500 68000 (I didn't ask) $1200 These prices do not include the usual Prentice Hall book by Clark & McCabe, since I got one with the seminar. For sigma prices, a photo-copy of the initialed price-sheet may be required in addition to the ACM-MASS annotation. They appear to be quite reasonable about cheap extra-liceses for multiple computers on a site. ---BILL RICKER x3001 D-36 -- William Ricker wdr@MITRE-Bedford.ARPA (MIL) wdr@faron.UUCP (UUCP) decvax!genrad!linus!faron!wdr (UUCP) {allegra,ihnp4,utzoo,philabs,uw-beaver}!linus!faron!wdr (UUCP) Opinions are my own and not necessarily anyone elses.
