[comp.sys.apollo] prolog on apollo

   our research group is looking at getting prolog for our
apollos (dn4000,dn3000,dn660).  we would appreciate any comments,
opinions, and/or caveats that you might have.  we are currently 
evaluating Mprolog from logicware so references to this implenation
(oops implementation) would be particularly relevant.  as well,
if you know of any other implementations then by all means let us 
know.  one area of interest is the ability to get at apollo graphics
from prolog, as well the candidate prolog should have a good external 
language interface.
                                       thanks in advance,

 i would first like to thank all of those who have responded to my
initial requests for information regarding prolog for the apollo.  i have 
sent individual notes to some but the mail bounced hence my posting to the net.
i am collecting all of the incoming mail and will porbably post it (unedited) in about
a week or so.
   i concur with richard o'keefe's comments about benchmarking and how one must
be careful with them.  we are one step ahead of you though richard, as we have already
requested an evaluation tape from your firm and expect it to get here real soon now.

      thanks again.
