I am asking on behalf of a friend involved in writing some software, for
his PhD in Linguistics, about the availability, pros and cons for Lisp
and Prolog for the Mac.

He is after a version of either that is fairly fast at runtime. Preferably
a compiled or partially compiled one, but at the same time he would like
the implemenation to be as full as possible. The ability to link code from
a C compiler would be a definite advantage.

At the moment the software is under development on a PC using Turbo Prolog
but he would like to shift.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. E-mail responses please as
I do not read these groups myself.
