I'm looking for a Prolog for my Compaq 386 machine running SCO XENIX. I'm considering A.D.A. Prolog as it has several features that I need and the price seems reasonable. Does anyone out there in netland have any experience with A.D.A. in general or their Prolog in particular. I'm particularly concerned with service, support, and bugs. I'm also concerned with the ability of the Prolog to support interfaces to external routines. I've read the blurb that they sent me but I'm unimpressed by their description of the interface capability. It seems to be rather difficult to use/implement as well as a potential source of bugs. Any responses via news, Email, or U.S. mail would be appreciated. Also, any pointers to other possible Prologs for the XENIX/386 environment would be welcome (as well as your experiences with them). Thanks in advance. FROM: Stephen D.

I have used ADA Prolog extensively on my PC in the past for my masters thesis. My experiences are with ADA Prolog VML 1.80. By now I am sure it is up to 2.x and probably has a nice environment. Its creator, Mr. Robert Morein was headed that way. It is interpreted (the version I use) so speed is not super great, but compatibility with Edin. Prolog is high. For the price, you really can't go wrong. My masters research included a planning system written in about 20 pages of Prolog and it all ran fairly nicely on my XT in ADA Prolog. Their address as of the last time I knew it was: Automata Design Associates 1570 Arran Way Dresher, PA 19025 (215)646-4894 ATTN: Mr. Robert Morein --Keith W. -- ==Keith Werkman, CSEE, Lehigh U., Packard Lab #19, Bethlehem, PA 18015== ==NETS: UUCP: ihnp4!lehi3b15{!scarecrow}!keithw == BITNET: kjw1@lehigh.BITNET INTERNET: ukjwerk@vax1.cc.lehigh.edu
