Last week I posted a request for info on AI software for the Amiga. I received a number of replys, and a few of those people asked me to post the info I received. Well it seems that the following were the packages people knew about: 1) XLISP - this is a PD interpreter on FF3, FF18, FF39. The one on FF39 seems to be the most recent (V1.7). Most people seem to think that this implementation is pretty klunky. 2) AMXLisp - this is also a PD one. I don't have any info on this except that it is on FF181 and is V2.0. This may be fairly good, but I'll have to get my hands on a copy and see... 3) SBprolog - This, I hear, is an excellent version of Prolog. It is PD but is supposed to be of commercial quality. It can be found on FF140-141. 4) Cambridge Lisp - now here is a program that I got a copy of from a friend I think it is a commercial product from Europe. I got version 1.0. It seems like a very good product, assuming that they have made updates to it, and fixed the bugs. It was produced by a company called: Tenchstar Ltd. 26 Portland Square Bristol, United Kingdom This program was written in about 1985. If anyone knows anything about this package, please let me know. It looks like a good package to buy. Well it looks like people arn't doing much AI work on the Amiga, judging by the packages I have listed. If anyone has anything to add to this list please let me know, or better yet post it to the group. I am really interested in AI on the Amiga, but some of the other common computers (who shall remain nameless :-) ) seem to have MUCh better support in this area.
