I need a list of LISP and Prolog programming languages available for the
Amiga.  They can be PD or Commercial it dosn't matter.  Also if anyone
has used any of these packages could you let me know what you think of
them.  Any help in these matters would be greatly appreciated.

There is an expert system shell called Magellan for the Amiga. It is a
rule based system (IF-THEN-type) with interesting capabilities.  The
system has both forward and backward chaining plus a synergistic mode
(backward chaining followed by forward chaining). It is possible to
define which goals the system should try to solve and give these goals
a priority.

Especially interesting I think is the possibility to communicate with
the environment through files, other programs and via ARexx both
as master and slave. It can also read Superbase, and Lotus 123-files.
This requires the interface module (which costs extra)

        IF problem is screen colors
        THEN correction procedure EXECUTE palette

They also have user support via a bbs and a newsletter for registered
users. 

Is anybody on the net using Magellan?
