This list of PROLOGs was collected by Randy Harr of CWRU and myself,
from the USENET and ARPANET computer networks. The emphasis is on
systems that are available to academic users.
Please let me know of any additions or corrections to this list.
Some of the entries are over a year old and are likely to be out of
date.

DATED: December 1983
NOTES: Extra control facilities enable coroutining. Three forms of
negation, which are delayed if the predicates are insufficiently
instantiated, etc. "Next year we will probably release the data
base version, which allows large collections of ground unit
clauses to be stored in hash addressed files." -- Lee Naish
