The Computer Science Department at UNC-Chapel Hill is
another site with (some) AI interests that is on USENET but
not ARPANET. We are one of CSNET's phone sites, but this
still doesn't allow us to FTP files. (Yes, in part, this is
a plea for those folks who can FTP to share with the rest of
us on USENET!)
Our functional programming group has a couple of pro-
jects with some AI overtones. We have begun to look at AI
style programming languages for Gyula Mago's string reduc-
tion tree-machine. This is a small-grain parallel computer
which executes Backus' FFP language. We're also looking at
automatic FP program transformations.
Along with our neighbors at Duke University, we have
some Prolog programmers. Right now, that's C-Prolog at UNC
and NU7 UNIX Prolog at Duke.

Wow, perhaps I should read all the articles before doing followups... Mago's work is at UNC Chapel Hill, and it's really *very* interesting. Makes a lot of dataflow work at mit and elsewhere look positively prehistoric... stan the l.h. ssc-vax!sts (soon utah-cs)
