I would not recommend TurboProlog (Borland).  I generally like
Borland's software, but Turbo is not Prolog.  It is irritatingly
Pascal-esque, in that all prediciates, and their valences (which
must remain constant throughout the program) must be declared,
all variable types ditto, et cetera.  It's fine if you've never
worked with standard, Edinburgh Prolog, but a real drag if you
have.  Try MicroProlog; I've never played with it, but Pereira
(@Stanford) likes it, so that's some recommendation.  Further
suggestions, if they arise, will be posted.  By the way, just
exactly what are the differences between Edinburgh (which I learned)
and Quintus?  Mange tak.
