IC Prolog ][ is a new prolog with the following added features
1) Multi threading - allows multiple prolog threads to be run concurrently.
2) Parlog - the system includes a parlog component. Prolog threads and parlog can
   comunicate through pipes. The parlog sub system is not included in the public
   domain version as there is a small fee for this.
3) Communication primitives - the system includes TCP primitives for inter process
    communication
4) Mailboxes - a high level communication system allowing multiple
   senders/receivers of data.

There was a paper presented at Keele describing some features of the language
which should hopefuly apear in the proceedings:
``I.C Prolog ][: a Language for Implementing Multi-Agent Systems'',
Yannis Cosmadopoulos and Damian Chu
in {\em  Tutorial and Workshop on Cooperating Knowledge Based Systems
September 23-25, 1992, Keele University}
