   i would first like to thank those who took the time to
respond to my request for information regarding prolog
implementations for apollo.  aside from a considerable
number of public-domain prologs we were able to discover that 
quintus has a version for the apollo as well.
   while most of the members of our research group recognize that
often the working environment is more important than just blinding 
speed it would still be nice to be able to compare different implementations
on a quantitative basis i.e. performance.  it is for this reason
that i am asking, yet again, for some assistance from my fellow
netters if anyone knows of a standard benchmark programs for prolog.
if i'm not mistaken, lisp has the gabriel suite and i'm curious
to know if such a similar situation exists for prolog.
    either e-mail or post though i believe posting would be of
greater benefit to the community.
