Summary: Why buy a PROLOG when you can get a PD PROLOG?
Xref: mnetor comp.lang.prolog:418 comp.ai:980


	I think that PROLOG is a much better choice for an intro course
	on A.I.  (someday maybe I will write a paper on why).  As to getting
	a PROLOG to use on IBM PCs, there are a number of Public Domain
	PROLOGs around.  One that I think would be fine for this use is
	put out by Automata Design Associates and can be found in 
	various software libraries or contact them at:

		A.D.A.
		1570 Arran Way
		Dresher, PA, 19025
		(215) 646-4894

	I think they charge $10 for a copy of their PD PROLOG, but that 
	would be a one time investment.
