HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA, U.S.A., 1990 FEB 1 (NB) -- Quintus Computer Systems, a subsidiary of Intergraph of Huntsville, began deliveries of its Quintus Prolog Release 2.5 for Sun workstations. The program will become available on Intergraph's own Clipper and RISC Workstations from Digital Equipment later in the first quarter. "All of our products are released for Sun first, because it's one of our largest customers," said a Quintus spokesman. Intergraph acquired Quintus last October. "They were very nice about it," the spokesman said about the Huntsville bosses. Enhancements include linking of Prolog rules which can now be put into a "shareable" section of a Unix-executable program file. An advanced Interprocess Communication Package allows Prolog processes to act as knowledge servers on a Unix network. A GNU Emacs interface provides a connection between the program and the popular GNU Emacs editor. Application developers using Quintus Prolog Release 2.5 can deliver runtime applications which include Quintus ProWindows and Database Interface add-on products, running on many different platforms.
