<EUREKA! I found it! I found it!>

Not too long ago I posted an article asking the same thing (and got no
response except from people whoare also looking for micro-PROLOG). Well
just last week, my search has finaly dug up the references:

micro-PROLOG is available from (and written by?):

Logic Programming Associates, Ltd.
10 Burntwood Close,
London SW183JU, ENGLAND

I found the reference in a book new to our shores entitled "Beginning
MICRO-PROLOG", R. Ennals, 'A Hands On! Computer book', Harper&Row, NY, NY,
2nd ed., 1984.  Originaly published by Ellis Horwood Ltd, West Sussex, England,
1983 and Heinemann Computers in Education Ltd., London, et al.
ISBN: 0-06-669000-5(pbk.)

According to their Appendix 3 on 'Availability',  micro-PROLOG is available 
for micros with Z80's and CPM, including North Star Horizon, Heathkit Zenith
(which one?), Apple II (Z80 and upper/lower case upgrades), BBC Micro/ACORN,
Sinclair Spectrum(there's a low-cost alternative!), Commodore-64 (yet another!),
and for micro's with CPM/86 and/or MS-DOS (which lets in my Rainbow-100!).

A Reference manual is available as part of the software, or seperately.

Now, just as soon as I call a friend in Engalnd to go buy it for me, I find this
in the AUG 84 'Digital Review' magazine, in the DEC Directory section on page
95:
SOFTWARE/UTILITIES:
PROLOG LANGUAGE INTERPRETER
...LPA PROLOG INTERPRETER is available now. For CP/M80 and MS/DOS-PC/DOS systems...
Programming Logic Systems, Inc.
31 Crescent Drive
Milford, Conn. 06460
(203) 877-7988

Well there it is.  Since I found it just yesterday (Saturday), I don't have
pricing info.  Somehow I bet my friend on London can get it for me cheaper
than you'd get it for here in the US.  When I know I post it to the net,
assuming I'm still on after 7/20 (when my present project dies.).
