I attempted to respond via e-mail, but the message bounced, and as this may be of general interest, I am posting it to the net. 1) Is it PD? No, but it is freely redistributable. Stony Brook Prolog (SBP) is copyrighted by both the State University of New York at Stony Brook and The University of Arizona. 2) Do you still have the original? The original is available via anonymous FTP at arizona.edu. However, I believe that my port should run on a Vax running BSD UNIX (UNIX is a TM of AT&T) without problem as I did nearly all my changes with #ifdef's. 3) Could you post (or mail) one or both, if it is PD? /* End of text from uiucdcsb:comp.lang.prolog */ The following explains how you can get it from me. However, the current port is SBP 2.2. There is a more current version (2.3.1) which I have ported, but am still testing. Once I am satisfied that it is stable, I will release it in the same form as described below. INSTRUCTIONS ON OBTAINING STONY BROOK PROLOG ============================================ (for the Amiga) You may either obtain SBP by FTP or through US mail. If you have Usenet access, I would prefer that you use FTP, but do not feel obligated to do so. MEMORY REQUIREMENTS: SBP needs slightly over a megabyte to run on an Amiga. I would imagine that 1.5 megabytes will suffice, but I have only run it on a 2.5 megabyte machine. FTP - connect to a.cs.uiuc.edu set file mode to binary change working directory to pub/amiga/sbp There are four files you need to get: sbp1.zoo.uu sbp2.zoo.uu sbp3.zoo.uu sbp_install The .uu of course indicates that the files are uuencoded, so you will need to uudecode them. Also, they have been packed using zoo. The file sbp_install explains how to unpack using zoo. If you do not have zoo, you may get it from directory pub/amiga/archive. Note that it is a compressed shell archive. (Use uncompress first, then sh). US MAIL - You can send me $3.50 along with your name and address, and I will send you a diskette with the following: zoo sbp1.zoo sbp_install sbp2.zoo sbp3.zoo The $3.50 is my estimated cost of a diskette, mailer, and postage. US funds only please - If you are not in the United States, please try to find out about how much more the postage will cost and include it. Mail your request (along w/ your name & address) to: David Roch 1402 N. McKinley #8 Champaign, IL 61821 NOTE: I will only be living here until July, 1988. Disclaimer - I accept no responsibility for any problems that you have with Stony Brook Prolog. However, if you send me bug reports, I will try to fix them as time permits.
