A year or two ago I read about an experimental programming environment which supported both Modula-2 and Prolog. I now work for a company which is doing an advanced Modula-2 environment [basically does everything the Symbolics LISP environment does, but is stronger on database/project management, support for large (even multi-site) projects, and user interface], and one of the things we're thinking about is adding support for Prolog [perhaps as a surface language upon Modula-2 (yup, we have an interpreter!)]. Now, I think I read this article about something called Modula- Prolog in..er..IEEE Software..but I can't seem to find that issue (if indeed it *was* IEEE software) and I was wondering of any of you people in the Prolog and Modula-2 communities know more about this project.. BTW, I think it ran on a Mac, but I'm not sure. - Frode

The article you refer to was in the November '86 issue of IEEE Software: "Modula--Prolog: A Software Development Tool" by Carlo Muller, ABB, Baden, Switzerland. They sell implementations for the Mac, MS-DOS and VMS (at least, possibly also for UNIX systems). They are also working on a nice graphic interface, though I don't know whether that has been released yet.
