According to the AAIS Prolog manual, Advanced A.I. Systems, Inc., P.O.Box 39-0360, Mountain View, CA 94039-0360 ph: (415) 961-1121 I haven't verified this, but the manual, the errata, and the cover letter all say the same thing several times. However, the cover letter says: "If you have any problems or questions, please call us at (415)961-1121 between 9am and 4pm Monday-Thursday and 9am and 1pm Friday, Pacific Time, and we will do our best to help you. Please note our new phone number is (415)948-8658." I haven't used AAIS Prolog myself, but I've heard good things about it. My only gripe is that it isn't an Edinburgh-compatible Prolog, and I can't see any point in most of the differences. Beware, for example, that they have member/2 and memberchk/2 built in, but they call memberchk/2 member and they call member/2 foreach. It would be very interesting to hear the experiences of people porting Prolog programs to/from the Macintosh /between different Prologs on the Macintosh. E.g. converting from LPA MacProlog to AAIS Prolog or vice versa. It would also be interesting to hear which Mac Prologs are reliable: I have a beta copy of a Prolog for the Macintosh (*NOT* *OURS*! There is no Quintus Prolog for the Mac!) which is really quite nice except that it crashes rather a lot and takes the Mac with it.
