I am interested in finding out what PD, freely redistributable, or shareware implementations exist for Concurrent Prolog, Parlog, or other concurrent/parallel extensions to Prolog. The host platform I am most interested in is the Sun SparcStation. Please reply directly to me as I am not a regular subscriber to this newsgroup.

The fact that they have neither backtracking nor full unification make them rather distant relatives to Prolog. They are powerful languages in their own right, due to their natural handling of concurrency, but in my experience trying to think of them in Prolog terms is more a hindrance then a help, since it emphasises their restrictions but not their power.
