[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Wanted: PROLOG compiler for the Mac

wjohn@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (Wesley John) (06/14/91)

Forgive me if this has been asked before.  Does anyone know if there
exists a public domain or commercial version of a Prolog compiler for
the Mac?  Any pointers or actual vendor information would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Wes

There are several prolog systems form the Mac. I use LPA MacProlog
extensively. They provide a reasonable development environment and
good connection to the Mac toolbox. This system is sold by Quintus
Computer Systems, in MountainView CA. I think they can be gotten hold
of via sales@quintus.com.

Other vendors I know of are AAIS (Advanced Artificial Intelligences
Systems, I think), and ALS (Applied Logic Systems). I have heard
rumours that ALS has the fastest Prolog for the Mac. I don't have an
address for AAIS. The address I have for ALS is

Applied Logic Systems
Box 90
University Station
Syracuse, New York 13210

These are all commerical Prologs.  I don't know of a public domain Prolog for
the Mac.

LPA also supply an object extension to prolog : prolog+ and a class
browser/editing environment called macObject.
