The PROLOG Forum is in the process of preparing our second issue of the newsletter, and we very anxious to get some material from our "extended family". We have lined up some advertising, and have some ambitious plans for this newsletter, so we need articles of almost every kind and description. In particular, we need some smaller "hands on" sorts of pieces that will appeal more to the "causal user" of PROLOG or PROLOG beginner than the professional hacker. Both our meetings and our first newsletter have suffered from being a little too "technical" (in some sense of that word) for many of the people who would want to join our group. We need your help in extending our appeal to that part of the PROLOG community. Many people have come up with wonderful little tricks about programming that should be shared, but never are because they don't seem important. The fact that a solution is obvious (once you have found it), doesn't mean it was obvious from the start. As important as finding the answer is describing the problem solving that was involved in getting to that answer. So if you have had an interesting "battle" with PROLOG (no matter how small) please jot it down and send it to us. Submissions can be sent to this computer account electronically, or by paper or disk format to: The PROLOG Forum P.O. Box 3826 Redwood City, CA, 94064, USA We would prefer disks to paper, and can handle either 5.25" PC format disks or Mac disks (former slightly preferred). Please send your submission in a "plain-vanilla" ASCII file format. T H A N K Y O U ! ! ! Edouard Lagache The PROLOG Forum lagache@violet.berkeley.edu
