[comp.lang.prolog] inheritance in prolog

rpg@rex.cs.tulane.edu (Robert Goldman) (11/29/90)

Does anyone have good code for managing objects with inheritance in
prolog?  I'm particularly looking for something which will support
multiple inheritance.

Thanks,
Robert

Have you heard of Datr, developed by Roger Evans and Gerald 
Gazdar at the University of Sussex? It runs in cprolog or
pop11, and you can get it for nothing (as far as I recall).

Yes. read my book. it contains copyright-free sourcecode
for inheritance in prolog. Make sure you read the right book,
I have done half a dozen AI books.

In reply to my message of last week, where I informed people in this
conference about Datr, I have been asked to post the email address
of Roger Evans, so you can email him with questions about how to obtain the
code. It is: rogere@uk.ac.sussex.cvaxa 

PS, Roger, if you read this newsgroup I hope you don't mind!!
