I am sure you would want to re-word this sentence. There is no need
to issue threats. [I have received a private e-mail copy of this
"posting", and responded to it.] I have been in touch with the
Dr. Sammut, and received a response from him. I have no interest in
violating any copyrights or distribution restrictions, and that is
why I tried (and eventually succeeded) to contact the author.

At this point, Dr. Sammut does not wish the interpreter to be
distributed through usenet, for a number of reasons. Fair enough.

As for UNSW people, they should get in touch with DECUS US Library
folks, and request that the prolog submission in the RSX87A tape be
removed, as it appears to be an unauthorized submission. [It will
probably be a bit too late to stop it from getting around though...]

My apologies to those of you who were excited by the prospect of
seeing a nice and tidy prolog interpreter posted to the net. I
suggest that you obtain a copy the PD SB-Prolog system, an excellent
prolog system (+ compiler for WAM) by Saumya Debray.  For more
information, write to:

	SB-Prolog Distribution
	Dept. of Computer Science
	University of Arizona
	Tucson, AZ 85721, USA

SB-Prolog is available at the distribution cost from UofA ($20/$40).
You also do not risk "criminal prosecution" if you pass it to a
nearby site.

what they have been doing in their CS Department.
