Yes.  (Chris Mellish -- co-author of Clocksin & Mellish -- did a lot of
the work on it.)

What's a DCG compiler?  Grammar rules are part of plain Prolog syntax;
they aren't "compiled" into anything, they *are* Prolog.  Nothing lacking
them has a shadow of a trace of the beginnings of a right to call itself
Edinburgh-compatible.  Yes, PopLog does support DCGs.

It also has other stuff for natural language processing.  There is a
package called ProGram for writing GPSG-style grammars (PopLog comes
from Sussex University; guess where Gazdar is/was).  I haven't had my
hands on that, but the manual was impressive.

There is a great deal to be said in PopLog's praise.  You will be
very glad of the academic discount, however.
