We are looking for implementations of Common Lisp and Prolog that run under VM/CMS, to be used for undergraduate/graduate instruction. I'd appreciate any information people might have about the following: (1) Does anyone know of a decent Common Lisp that runs under VM/CMS? (IBM Lisp isn't suitable for our purposes, since it's rather different from Common Lisp). (2) Has anyone had experience using IBM Prolog? How natural would it be to use for one accustomed to C-Prolog (or any other Prolog that uses the syntax described in Clocksin and Mellish)? (3) Does anyone know of a Prolog that runs under VM/CMS that's closer to C-Prolog? Or, for that matter, does anyone know whether C-Prolog can be made to run under VM/CMS?

Intermetrics is selling VM/CMS Common Lisp. The educational price was recently $4000. The documentation indicates a quite complete implementation with interfaces to Intermetrics C language available. There is an ad for it on p32 of AI Magazine, V7, Number 1, Spring 1986. Intermetrics 733 Concord Avenue Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)-661-1840 Cognitive Systems may be selling CSI-LISP on top of IBM VM LISP. This is a rewrite of T, a Scheme dialect. Details in AI Magazine, V6, Number 3, Fall 1985, page 248. ---- George - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - George R.
