Can somebody out there help me out ? I am doing research in realtime modelling of communication protocols and am developing a tool based on the Prolog programming language. I am interested on a particular implementation of Prolog for the MS-DOS environment, i.e. running on AT or 386 machines which is called "LPA Professional Prolog " version 2.6 onwards by a company named Logics Programming Associates (LPA for short ..). I am desperately looking for this prolog implementation and will be very grateful for any bits of information regarding it. Please post your response to this newsgroup only since I dont read any other. Thanks alot. Idros Abdul Hamid. Realtime networking lab., University of Wales at Swansea, Wales, U.K.

It is "LPA Prolog Professional". The company is Logic Programming Associates Ltd, Studio 4, The Royal Victoria Patriotic Building, Trinity Road, London SW18 3SX, England. Telephone number + 44 (1) 871 2016 \london/ The hardware requirements are (quoting the manual): An IBM PC, XT, AT, or 100% compatible machine At least 512 KB of RAM - 640 KB is preferable 2 Disc drives, preferably on a hard disc ... You really need about 384 KB of *free* memory to adequately run [LPA Prolog Professional]. It supports EMS if you have it, and various mice and such. Beware: this is basically an extended micro-PROLOG which has been hammered on to make it look like an Edinburgh Prolog system and the differences _do_ show through in places. You want to read "Appendix G: Pragmatic Considerations for Programmers" carefully.

LPA Prologs for the IBM series and for the Macintosh are available from LPA at Studio 4 The Royal Victoria Patriotic Building Trinity Rd London SW18 3SX England If you are residing in the continental USA then LPA products are available from Quintus (who are somewhere in MountainView Ca.)
