[2-2] Commercial Prolog Implementations
AAIS Full Control Prolog (version 3.1.3) is an Edinburgh-standard
compiler and interpreter that runs on all Apple 680x0 Macintosh computers
(from Plus through Quadras and Powerbooks). It runs under System 6
and 7 (or A/UX 3.0), requiring 4mb RAM, and is 32-bit clean. It
is built on an object-oriented kernel, includes many object-oriented
extensions to the language, functions for constructing graphical user
interfaces, direct program access to the printer for printing text or
graphics, and full support for Apple Events. There are also numerous
example programs, including source code for the AAIS Full Control
Prolog's own standard development interface, and how to interface with
Oracle databases and FileMaker Pro databses. AAIS Full Control Prolog
costs $495. For an additional $199 (and a signed license), you can get a
copy of AAIS Prolog Program Creator, an application generator/runtime
distribution system that turns Prolog programs into Macintosh
applications. For more information, write to Advanced AI Systems,
Inc., PO Box 39-0360, Mountain View, CA 94039-0360, call 415-948-8658,
fax 415-948-2486, or email AAISProlog@aol.com. Earlier version (2.0)
reviewed in AI Expert, Feburary 1991.
[NOTE: Douglas Lanam, President of Advanced AI Systems, Inc.,
announced on April 1, 1994, that he would be ceasing all future
development of the product due to economic and personal reasons. The
remaining stock of AAIS Full Control Prolog and the Program Creator is
being offered on an as-is basis with no return for $99 a copy. You
can order copies by phone using your credit card.
Technical support through phone, mail, and email is continuing, but
they cannot return phone calls or faxes outside North America, so
those replies would be sent by email or snail mail.]

ProLog by BIM is a high-performance and robust implementation of the
Prolog language. It compiles to native machine code for maximum
execution speed, and provides flexible memory management with automated
expansion, shrinking, garbage collection and user-definable parameters.
The ProLog by BIM environment comprises a GUI including an execution
monitor and debugger, an on-line help facility, a extended emacs
interface and a profiler. ProLog by BIM also includes a bi-directional
external language interface, which is used for the included interfaces
to graphics, windowing and RDBMS packages. The system also comes with a
large library of Prolog source code which contains many of the most
commonly used predicates. Stand-alone run-times without royalties and
embeddability allow problem-free end-user delivery. ProLog by BIM comes
with Carmen, a WYSIWYG GUI-Generator delivering Prolog code that allows
notifiers and call-backs in Prolog and serves as a powerful
rapid-prototyping aid. ProLog by BIM runs on SPARC, INTEL PC running
Solaris 2.x, HP700 and IBM RS/6000. BIM provides both training and
consultancy on Prolog and Prolog based developments efforts. For more

FRIL (Fuzzy Relational Inference Language) is a logic-programming
language that incorporates a consistent method for handling
uncertainty, based on Baldwin's theories of support logic, mass
assignments, and evidential reasoning. Mass assignments give a
consistent way of manipulating fuzzy and probabilistic uncertainties,
enabling different forms of uncertainty to be integrated within a
single framework. Fril has a list-based syntax, similar to the early
micro-Prolog from LPA. Prolog is a special case of Fril, in which
programs involve no uncertainty. Fril runs on Unix, Macintosh, MS-DOS,
and Windows 3.1 platforms. For further information, write to Dr B.W.
Pilsworth, Fril Systems Ltd, Bristol Business Centre, Maggs House, 78
Queens Rd, Bristol BS8 1QX, UK. A longer description is available as
ftp.cs.cmu.edu:/user/ai/areas/fuzzy/com/fril.txt
GT-Prolog is a high performance implementation of Edinburgh-standard
Prolog for the Commodore Amiga. GT-Prolog includes the ProBench
interactive development environment supporting incremental compilation,
a multi-port debugger based on the Byrd model, a source code editor, and
a break facility. GT-Prolog provides transparent access to sophisticated
optimization techniques including Tail Recursion Optimisation, First
Argument Indexing/Hashing, In-line Arithmetic Evaluation and automatic
Garbage Collection of code and data. Error handling is based on catch
and throw mechanisms. GT-Prolog is also one of the first implementations
to support a fully logical Prolog database. GT-Prolog provides explicit
control of memory allocation allowing programs to use up to 16mb for
data and 4gb for code and requires a minimum configuration of 1Mb memory
plus Workbench version 2 or later. GT-Prolog includes a library of more
than 120 predicates that provide user programs with access to the
facilities of AmigaDOS. The single user price is 89.95 pounds sterling
inclusive of VAT and postage/packing. For more information, write to

Turbo Prolog. See PDC Prolog.
Visual Prolog. Developed as the multi-target GUI based successor to
PDC Prolog (described above). The Standard version generates source
code compatible 16-bit GUI executables for Win3.1x, Win95, WinNT and
OS/2 PM (Prof.version only). The Professional version can be used to
generate both 16 and 32-bit applications. The O/S independent VPI
(Visual Programming Interface) combined with a host of automatic code
generation and maintenance tools and full on-line help ease the
construction of complicated applications. The Visual Prolog Web Pages
at the URL
htpp://www.pdc.dk/vip/
contain product information and news as well as free Visual Prolog
tools and updates. Prolog Development Center developed the well known
(but now extinct) Turbo Prolog from Borland. For more information US
