Does anyone know about a Prolog for the AMIGA ? thanks.

I would also be interested in such a beast.

There has been some discussion of this in comp.sys.amiga. For those
interested, Scott Evernden (scott@applix.UUCP) has ported SB-Prolog
to the Amiga. He has been looking for beta testers, so you might want
to contact him directly. This is his original posting:
I have completed porting SB-Prolog to the Amiga.
This is an academic-class Prolog interpreter implementing a WAM (Warren
Abstract Machine) simulator. On my 68010 A1000, the interpreter
operates at over 1000 LIPS (logical interences per second), and the
compiler can produce WAM byte code which the simulator can run at over
3600 LIPS.
I need some beta-testers who have Amigas and understand Prolog.
I don't know the language well enough myself to know whether this thing
is truly useable, or is more of a toy. The bulk of SB-Prolog is
written in Prolog, and I have run the compiler (great chunks of code)
without incident. I have also tried individual experiments, and
everything seems to function OK.
This thing is a memory pig, requiring 75K to load, and 2 contiguous
300K (by default) globs of core to run in. It occasionally can't find
a way to run in my 2.5 Megs. If you have only a Meg (like an A500),
then maybe you would like to try, and report to me if 1 meg is enough
to do useful work. 512K simply ain't enough, sorry.
Send me MAIL telling me of your Amiga and Prolog expertise and let me
know how I should send it. (over 800K)
-scott
I haven't seen it yet so I can't say anything about it.

There has been some discussion recently about Stony Brook Prolog for the Amiga. As mentioned earlier, Scott Evernden has ported it to the Amiga. Over the winter break, I also ported it to the Amiga. If anyone is interested in obtaining a copy, you may contact me at roch@b.cs.uiuc.edu. If anyone manages to reach Scott (scott@applix.uucp), I would appreciate their putting him in contact with me (I sent mail, but received no response). Thank you, David Roch

I was unable to reach either Scott or you, as our pathalias is currently neutered, and you did not leave back-bone paths. 1) Is it PD? 2) Do you still have the original? 3) Could you post (or mail) one or both, if it is PD? I am sure a lot of people out there would like to have a copy of a prologue source. You may also want to try posting (or cross-posting) it to the Amiga group. There are at least 5 of us here with an interest. | Terry Lambert UUCP: ...!decvax!utah-cs!century!terry | | @ Century Software or : ...utah-cs!uplherc!sp7040!obie!wsccs!terry | | SLC, Utah | | These opinions are not my companies, but if you find them | | useful, send a $20.00 donation to Brisbane Australia... | | 'There are monkey boys in the facility.

/* Written 12:55 am Mar 5, 1988 by terry@wsccs.UUCP in uiucdcsb:comp.lang.prolog */ This message is in response to terry@wsccs.UUCP regarding Stony Brook Prolog for the Amiga. I attempted to respond via e-mail, but the message bounced, and as this may be of general interest, I am posting it to the net. 1) Is it PD? No, but it is freely redistributable. Stony Brook Prolog (SBP) is copyrighted by both the State University of New York at Stony Brook and The University of Arizona. 2) Do you still have the original? The original is available via anonymous FTP at arizona.edu. However, I believe that my port should run on a Vax running BSD UNIX (UNIX is a TM of AT&T) without problem as I did nearly all my changes with #ifdef's. 3) Could you post (or mail) one or both, if it is PD? /* End of text from uiucdcsb:comp.lang.prolog */ The following explains how you can get it from me. However, the current port is SBP 2.2. There is a more current version (2.3.1) which I have ported, but am still testing. Once I am satisfied that it is stable, I will release it in the same form as described below. INSTRUCTIONS ON OBTAINING STONY BROOK PROLOG ============================================ (for the Amiga) You may either obtain SBP by FTP or through US mail. If you have Usenet access, I would prefer that you use FTP, but do not feel obligated to do so. MEMORY REQUIREMENTS: SBP needs slightly over a megabyte to run on an Amiga. I would imagine that 1.5 megabytes will suffice, but I have only run it on a 2.5 megabyte machine. FTP - connect to a.cs.uiuc.edu set file mode to binary change working directory to pub/amiga/sbp There are four files you need to get: sbp1.zoo.uu sbp2.zoo.uu sbp3.zoo.uu sbp_install The .uu of course indicates that the files are uuencoded, so you will need to uudecode them. Also, they have been packed using zoo. The file sbp_install explains how to unpack using zoo. If you do not have zoo, you may get it from directory pub/amiga/archive. Note that it is a compressed shell archive. (Use uncompress first, then sh). US MAIL - You can send me $3.50 along with your name and address, and I will send you a diskette with the following: zoo sbp1.zoo sbp_install sbp2.zoo sbp3.zoo The $3.50 is my estimated cost of a diskette, mailer, and postage. US funds only please - If you are not in the United States, please try to find out about how much more the postage will cost and include it. Mail your request (along w/ your name & address) to: David Roch 1402 N. McKinley #8 Champaign, IL 61821 NOTE: I will only be living here until July, 1988. Disclaimer - I accept no responsibility for any problems that you have with Stony Brook Prolog. However, if you send me bug reports, I will try to fix them as time permits.
