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). This is important as I have sent SB-Prolog to Fred Fish and would like whichever port is better to be distributed. Thank you, David Roch roch@b.cs.uiuc.edu

Please help with this, as distribution is currently on hold until things sort themselves out. I'll be doing a new batch of disks soon, and would like to get the "winner" on one of them. -Fred -- # Fred Fish hao!noao!mcdsun!fishpond!fnf (602) 921-1113 # Ye Olde Fishpond, 1346 West 10th Place, Tempe, AZ 85281 USA

A couple people have been asking about Stony Brook Prolog, so here we go again... Stony Brook Prolog (SBP) is a version of Prolog developed at SUNY - Stony Brook. Scott Evernden and I did seperate ports, and I merged the two taking some ideas from both. SBP comes with a compiler and can mix interpreted and compiled code. It requires approximately one megabyte to run, although some people have had troubles getting it to run on a 1 megabyte machine. I strongly suggest having at least 1.5 meg. The documentation is very good, however it is not a tutorial on Prolog. My personal favorite for that is _The Art of Prolog_ by Sterling & Shapiro, MIT Press. Of course, that's just my opinion, and I'm sure that some people will think that I'm full of it. For those of you familiar with SBP, this is version 2.3.2. How to get it: by anonymous FTP shell>ftp a.cs.uiuc.edu you will prompted for your login, type ``anonymous'' type your login for the password FTP will spit out some information, then give you a prompt ftp>cd pub/amiga/sbp ftp>get GET_ME_FIRST ftp>! shell>more GET_ME_FIRST shell>^D (control d to end the shell) ftp> follow the instructions in GET_ME_FIRST The entire transfer will take you some time, it is approximately a megabyte and a half. Have fun on the download. by US mail: Send (to cover my costs) w/in the US $3.75 outside depends on where you live. Just put in whatever you feel is appropriate. I've mailed SBP to several countries and so far I haven't had to pay any more than $4.00 over the $3.75. to: David Roch 1402 N. McKinley #8 Champaign, IL 61821 and I'll send you a mailer with two disks containing everything. Note, I will only be at this address until the middle of August. Also, SBP has been submitted to the Fish library. When and if Fred releases it, I will no longer distribute disks. If you have any questions, feel free to write to roch@a.cs.uiuc.edu ^--- new address, my account on b went to Never Never Land david roch
