In <5631@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu>,  cs211s65@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu asks us
to do his PROLOG homework for him.

This offends me.  Am I alone in this?  It seems to me that if you "don't 
have the time to become an expert" in the topic of your graduate thesis,
then you darn well better pick another topic for your thesis.  This posting
seems to be a bit like purchasing one of those canned reports instead of
doing research - legal, yes, but ethical?

I don't know.  Maybe I'm overreacting, but I think you're going to need
a pretty fundamental understanding of PROLOG in order to do a worthwhile
comparison of PROLOG to Predicate Logic.
