No monster programs, so I can't >judge how they'll do under a heavy load. Both are interpeters only. SBProlog is available for the Amiga as well. I haven't done anything very big with it, but it seems compatible with the Sun version, and it's a full prolog, not a subset. Also, there's a compile predicate, that translates your program to WAM code, which is interpreted much faster than straight prolog. Memory usage seems pretty reasonable, but I don't think I'd bother to try it with less than a meg of RAM or on a single floppy system. I've got a 3 floppy 2.5Meg A1000 running 1.3, and that seems quite sufficient. SBProlog is on one of the fish disks, so the price is definitely right. -=- -- Jeff (martens@cis.ohio-state.edu) I think we can make a deal with the Soviets: they can have all our tobacco on the condition that they take all our other toxic wastes.
