request from Leslie Burkholder and James C O'Connor, which might
interest to others:

I worked in Luis Damas group before coming to the UK. As Luis does not
have access to the net, I'll try to answer your queries myself.

I don't understand very well what the Prolog interpreter and compiler
means. Luis was one of the original authors of C-Prolog, an
interpreter. I've heard that some of the later versions of C-Prolog had
been ported to the Mac, but I don't have any pointers on how to get it.

After returning to Portugal, University of Porto, Luis started to
write a Prolog compiler. I eventually joined him and the result was
YAP (the careful reader might have guessed the meaning of the name by
now). YAP is a commercial product and it is available for the Suns, Vaxen
Macintosh's and lots of other machines. It is a compiler based on the WAM,
and it follows the Edinburgh-Prolog syntax. To get more information contact
L. Damas at:

or you can try to send e-mail to

...!mcvax!inesc!nccup!luis

or l_damas%inescn.rccn.pt@PTIFM.BITNET

E-mail connections to Porto are still very unreliable.

Hope I have helped
