This message is in response to terry@wsccs.UUCP regarding
Stony Brook Prolog for the Amiga.  I attempted to respond
via e-mail, but the message bounced, and as this may be
of general interest, I am posting it to the net.

	1) Is it PD?

No, but it is freely redistributable.  Stony Brook Prolog (SBP) is
copyrighted by both the State University of New York at Stony
Brook and The University of Arizona.

	2) Do you still have the original?

The original is available via anonymous FTP at arizona.edu.
However, I believe that my port should run on a Vax running
BSD UNIX (UNIX is a TM of AT&T) without problem as I did 
nearly all my changes with #ifdef's.

	3) Could you post (or mail) one or both, if it is PD?
/* End of text from uiucdcsb:comp.lang.prolog */

The following explains how you can get it from me.  However,
the current port is SBP 2.2.  There is a more current version
(2.3.1) which I have ported, but am still testing.  Once I am
satisfied that it is stable, I will release it in the same
form as described below. 



	INSTRUCTIONS ON OBTAINING STONY BROOK PROLOG
	============================================
		    (for the Amiga)

You may either obtain SBP by FTP or through US mail.
If you have Usenet access, I would prefer that you
use FTP, but do not feel obligated to do so.

MEMORY REQUIREMENTS:  SBP needs slightly over a megabyte to
run on an Amiga.  I would imagine that 1.5 megabytes will
suffice, but I have only run it on a 2.5 megabyte machine.

FTP -
	connect to a.cs.uiuc.edu
	set file mode to binary
	change working directory to pub/amiga/sbp

	There are four files you need to get:
		sbp1.zoo.uu	sbp2.zoo.uu
		sbp3.zoo.uu	sbp_install

	The .uu of course indicates that the files are
	uuencoded, so you will need to uudecode them.
	Also, they have been packed using zoo.  The
	file sbp_install explains how to unpack using
	zoo.  If you do not have zoo, you may get it
	from directory pub/amiga/archive.  Note that
	it is a compressed shell archive.  (Use
	uncompress first, then sh).

US MAIL - 
	You can send me $3.50 along with your name and
	address, and I will send you a diskette with
	the following:
		zoo		sbp1.zoo
		sbp_install	sbp2.zoo
				sbp3.zoo	

	The $3.50 is my estimated cost of a diskette,
	mailer, and postage.  US funds only please - If
	you are not in the United States, please try
	to find out about how much more the postage will
	cost and include it.  Mail your request (along w/
	your name & address) to:

		Champaign, IL 61821
		NOTE:  I will only be living here
			until July, 1988.

Disclaimer -
	I accept no responsibility for any problems that
	you have with Stony Brook Prolog.  However, if
	you send me bug reports, I will try to fix them as
	time permits.
