I'm doing a Prolog course this term. Having a Prolog at home to experiment with would be very convenient. What sort of (preferably PD) Prolog support is available? What sort of memory requirements do current implementations include (I have 2.5 megs)? John -- "The 68000 processor can't possibly handle a colour display. You must have a 68020 system and not know it." -- Amiga and Atari ST owners shared a chuckle over this view from sales *and* technical people at the local Apple dealer

The Fish, Amicus, and CUCUG (Champaign-Urbana Commodore Users' Group) collections are available for anonymous FTP at: 128.174.5.54 uxe.cso.uiuc.edu uxe uiucuxe I know this isn't much of a place for an "advertisement", but since our supply of the latest Fish disks has been running behind, I've taken the opportunity to upload the CUCUG collection mentioned above. There are monthly disks (ten so far) plus a Jukebox disk (w/player) and a Sound disk (w/player). There's a fair amount of original material on these disks, downloaded from the nation's BBSs by our diligent club librarian and snake oil salesman, Kevin Hisel. All neatly run-able from the Workbench, and guaranteed to provide hours of fun and amusement for the whole family:-) For those without FTP access, disks can be ordered by mail for $6 each from: CUCUG P.O.

What sort of (preferably PD) Prolog support >is available? I use Stony Brook Prolog, which is copyrighted but explicitly made freely redistributable. The amiga port is contained on fish disks #140 and 141. It runs just like its Unix counterpart (ignoring speed differences caused by different processors/clock rates). If you can't easily get ahold of fish disks, but do have network access, you can get zoo files of fish disks contents via anonymous FTP from "uxe.cso.uiuc.edu". These two disks are in the directories "amiga/fish/ff140" and "amiga/fish/ff141". >What sort of memory requirements do current implementations >include (I have 2.5 megs)? One meg isn't quite enough, but 2.5 should be quite comfortable (I have 3 meg). SB-Prolog does have options to change the amount of space allocated for the static areas.

Stony Brook Prolog is available on fish disks 140 and 141. A prolog called 'VT Prolog' appeared on fish disk 145. I'd like to find the latest version of VT Prolog. Any pointers? ..Bob (not endorsing either) -- Bob Page, U of Lowell CS Dept. page@swan.ulowell.edu ulowell!page "I can't tell the difference between ABC News and Hill Street Blues" -Bono
