	The WISDOM implementation of Edinburgh Prolog is available for the
Amiga, as well as a disk full of instructional programs.  I was reading
Sterling and Shapiro's "The Art of Prolog", and since I am sick with
the flu I was flipping around more than I usually do.  At the very end of
the book is an add for WISDOM prolog.  Has anyone used this prolog on their
Amigas?  How much memory is needed?  How fast is it?
	Enough questions, my head is spinning already (that is probabily
the flu again :-&
	Here is the text of the add:
 
WISDOM PROLOG
developed by Shmuel Safra
at the Weizmann Institute of Science
 
A new Prolog interpreter with these special features:
* user definable shell and environment
* 100 system predicates
* 320K RAM used by user-data (PC only); up to 80Mb on UNIX machines
* powerful debugger
* screen management
* exit to OS w/o leaving interpreter
 
For more info contact Motti Goldberg at: max@wisdom (CSNET or BITNET)
 
The MIT press is selling it at $95 US  (code SAFWA) Amiga version
They also have a companion disk of the programs from the book for the
same price.
 
	This is quite commercial, but since we would all like to know
more about this product I thought it was justified.  I have nothing
to do with any of the above including the content of this message.
I am currently delirlous and not responsible for my ravings.
