We are searching for a compilable version of Prolog for SCO Xenix 386. The third party catalog specifies an interpretive version, but not a compilable version. Is there such a beast? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Phil Blais ITT DCD West 10060 Carroll Canyon Rd. San Diego, Ca. (619) 578-3080

Actually, I thought we covered this in our phone conversation. Anyway, why go by buzzwords? Try the product (our A.D.A. Prolog). It certainly isn't reasonable to condemn software on the basis of buzzwords. Our type VMV for XENIX runs at about 1/4 the speed of BIM, which claims to be the fastest Prolog in the world. It has unlimited stack space, and marvelous extensions to the language, such as arrays, which no other Prolog has. You certainly are deceiving yourself if you think that a DOS based system limited to 64k of stack space, one compilable module, 640k of memory, and 8086 code would present an advantage.
