Hello netland, I haven't been here in a while, so please excuse me if this has been asked recently. Is there a decent version of Prolog for the PC and/or Mac on freeware or shareware? I am TA-ing a class which is doing prolog at the moment, and many students are looking for a prolog they can take home with them. Thanks in advance This posting is a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom. Jack Vinson vinson@linc.cis.upenn.edu

Your request for a shareware Prolog is a symbol of your individuality? Maybe you've lived in America too long. Anyway, there is a Prolog called PDPROLOG that runs on IBM PCs. The low-end version is public-domain; higher-level versions have increasinly higher costs. The low end version seems adequate for instructional use. Last I checked, it was available via anonymous FTP from wuarchive.wustl.edu from the directory /mirrors/msdos/prolog.

Not in C, but in Pascal: Buy ``Prolog for programmers'' by Feliks Kluzniak and Stanislaw Szpakiwicz. Academic Press, 1985.

I found a public domain interpreter for PC's that conforms to the Clocksin & Mellish standard, on a bulletin board. Look for "PDPROLOG". If you have trouble finding it, send me a disk and I'll give you a copy. Regards, Euan Mason 27 Newnham Tce Christchurch 4 New Zealand "I liked your opera.

i have got a public domain version of ADAProlog (i think that was the name - i cannot look it up here at my office), it is called PDProlog. full c&m standard. it does it's work, but is rather difficult to handle. e.g. you can assert new rules *only* by use of assert. if you want it, please send email. do *not* use the address in the header, but those in the signature. tnx. bernd Bernd Meyer, LG Praktische Informatik IV, FernUniversitaet Hagen, D-5800 Hagen Bahnhofstrasse 46/48, FRG, Phone: +49 2331 181677, ** db6ag@db0sgl ** meyer@fernuni-hagen.de or meyer@dhafeu61.bitnet s=meyer; ou=vax1; ou=informatik; p=fernuni-hagen; a=dbp; c=de
