Has anybody ported C-Prolog to the Macintosh? If you have we would be very interested in hearing about it. We have been considering doing it ourselves but if somebody already has then there would be little point in duplicating the effort. Please email replies to me. If there is enough interest I will post results to the net. Thanks in advance.

I managed to get my hacked version of C-Prolog up under A/UX in less than an hour, most of that dealing with A/UX 1.0 C compiler bugs. I no longer have access to a Mac, but I distributed the sources _to people who already had a C-Prolog license_ for the charge of a tape + mailing. The changes are public -- feel free to copy them, i just charge for the tape as i hate making them. The banner reads something like: C-Prolog 1.5n7 ^^- the 'n' indicates one of my versions As all that we have way out here is a Sun, all i can now write is Sun catridges. The changes I made include: speed ups, increasing the memory efficiency (on many -- but not all) systems, and fix bugs. I've been using it for several years. It has run on everything from IBM mainframes (under UTS) to Vaxen, Sequents, Suns, Macs... Even brain-dead Sun386i's. Still no garbage collector though. Other thought: Have you considered SB Prolog (arizona.edu). It's free, good, (and once a garbage-collector is added), real. If you are not running under A/UX, there are several commercial possibilities, I've used ALS Prolog and liked it, but i'm biased. - mike -- Mike Newton Caltech Submillimeter Observatory ex-communicated Pasadena President, POB 4339 / Hilo HI 96720 Beach Bums Anonymous 808 935 1909 (but not in the mornings) Mail: newton@csvax.caltech.edu Which is forwarded to: kahuna!newton@csvax.caltech.edu UUCP cit-vax!kahuna!newton "Reality is a lie that hasn't been found out yet..."
