Hi John

This is super-intriguing. I have had a slight look at Prolog and my mind was warped all over the place.

I see a download for the Smalltalk/V here: https://winworldpc.com/product/digital-smalltalk/5x. Maybe it includes the Prolog interpreter.

hi vince.

thanks for the link. the program has an extension of 7z. i'm guessing it's a .com, so i tried to rename but windows wouldn't let me run it. i also tried running under cmd window but still no go.

vince, thanks for your help.

Borland (Philippe Kahn, of Turbo Pascal fame) brought out Prolog in the US market in the early 1980s, I think. The AI research community was split at the time, with the US mostly using Lisp, and Europeans using Prolog, if I recall correctly. I really enjoyed Prolog.

Hi John,

I found something in my archive.
It is a copy of 2003 Smalltalk/X goodies. I read something like "Prolog Interpreter" inside the ZIP.
Please find it in my private ftp server. The IP is 130 - 180 - 75 - 154, directory /Open/smalltalkX.

Cheers,
Klaus

Hi John,
the server is allways up and running.
What kind of problem did you got? I did not touch this file since I downloaded it :-)
Cheers,
Klaus

hi klaus,

yes, i did get to the server. actually there is no problem. i forgot that the prolog classes weren't in the smalltalkv part but in the stx part.

i looked at filing in the classes and based on syntax and class structure it will take quite an effort to load into dolphin.

thanks,

john

Hi John,

I run a file search for *prolog* over my archive and got 2 more hits.
Please find another prolog interpreter class and a documentation of Smalltalk/X goodies (including prolog)

Cheers,
Klaus

hi klaus,

i found a version of prolog on squeak site and the squeak syntax appears to be closer to dolphin than st/x so i will try to port that.

thank you very much for your help.
