I have no such certainty. I think the Prolog world includes Israel,
Japan, Australia, Portugal, the USA, Hungary, China[*], and all sorts of
places. The plain fact of the matter is that there are two sorts of
Prolog systems: ones whose authors have tried to provide some sort of
compatibility with other Prologs, and ones whose authors have let their
imaginations rip. What the compatible Prologs are compatible with is
not Prolog-II or Waterloo Prolog, but Clocksin&Mellish.
[*] I am credibly informed that the PRC uses an unauthorised translation
of Clocksin & Mellish as the main Prolog text, so presumably the
French Prologs are of small concern to them.
