                                                    ^^^^^^
Just to clarify: the development of SB-Prolog began at SUNY Stony Brook,
where a number of people worked on it between 1984 and 1986.  The project
was led by David Scott Warren, and substantial chunks of code were written
by, among others, D.S.W., Jiyang Xu, Weidong Chen, and Suzanne Dietrich.
Since August 1986, development has continued at the University of Arizona,
where the system is currently distributed from.

While I _have_ played a role in the development of SB-Prolog, I have no
desire to take credit (or, for that matter, blame) for any code that I
didn't write.

While I'm at it, I might as well mention that Version 2.5 of SB-Prolog is
now available for anonymous FTP from arizona.edu.  This incorporates a
number of changes that make it more compatible with systems like Quintus
and Sicstus Prologs, and also incorporates some builtins, such as
listing/[0,1], clause/[2,3], recorda/recordz/recorded/erase, current_atom/
current_functor/current_predicate, etc., that were not present in earlier
versions.
