I am trying to port SB-Prolog, obtained from the UUNET archives, to run
on a System V machine.  The particular the sticking point is the
interrupt signal handling in sim/sub_inst.c and the I/O routines in
sim/builtin/file.c.  If anyone has modified this program to run on
System V, I would really appreciate some help.

I would also appreciate knowing if SB-Prolog is a good program, suitable
for use in place of C-Prolog in a graduate-level course on Computational
Linguistics.  Is there a better free program with source code available?

The texts will be NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING IN PROLOG by Gerald Gazdar
and Chris Mellish, Addison-Wesley, 1989; and PROLOG AND NATURAL-LANGUAGE
ANALYSIS by C Pereira and S Shieber, Center for the Study of Language
and Information (Stanford CA), 1987.
