A couple people have been asking about Stony Brook Prolog,
so here we go again...

Stony Brook Prolog (SBP) is a version of Prolog developed at SUNY -
Stony Brook.  Scott Evernden and I did seperate ports, and
I merged the two taking some ideas from both.

SBP comes with a compiler and can mix interpreted and
compiled code.  It requires approximately one megabyte
to run, although some people have had troubles getting
it to run on a 1 megabyte machine.  I strongly suggest
having at least 1.5 meg.

The documentation is very good, however it is not a
tutorial on Prolog.  My personal favorite for that
is _The Art of Prolog_ by Sterling & Shapiro, MIT Press.
Of course, that's just my opinion, and I'm sure that
some people will think that I'm full of it.

For those of you familiar with SBP, this is version 2.3.2.

How to get it:

by anonymous FTP
	shell>ftp a.cs.uiuc.edu
	you will prompted for your login, type ``anonymous''
	type your login for the password
	FTP will spit out some information, then give you a prompt
	ftp>cd pub/amiga/sbp
	ftp>get GET_ME_FIRST
	ftp>!
	shell>more GET_ME_FIRST
	shell>^D (control d to end the shell)
	ftp>
	follow the instructions in GET_ME_FIRST

	The entire transfer will take you some time,
	it is approximately a megabyte and a half.
	Have fun on the download.

by US mail:
	Send (to cover my costs)
	w/in the US	$3.75
	outside		depends on where you live.  Just put in
			whatever you feel is appropriate.  I've
			mailed SBP to several countries
			and so far I haven't had to pay any more
			than $4.00 over the $3.75.
	to:

		David Roch
		1402 N. McKinley #8
		Champaign, IL 61821

	and I'll send you a mailer with two disks containing
	everything.  Note, I will only be at this address
	until the middle of August.  Also, SBP has been
	submitted to the Fish library.  When and if Fred
	releases it, I will no longer distribute disks.

If you have any questions, feel free to write to
	roch@a.cs.uiuc.edu
	     ^--- new address, my account on b went to Never Never Land
