Does anybody know the prolog for UNIX which supports
the fuzzy unification of floating point numbers,     
that is two floating point numbers are considered 
equal if | X - Y | =< FUZZVALUE  and this FUZZVALUE
can be changed by user? I know that VM/Prolog has
this feature, but it works on mainframe.
Any information is appreciated.

Mike
