   I posted about this before, but couldn't remember the site.
   Good luck finding the software.  This seems to be a very
   large archive site.

   The language extension is called L&O in the book, which I didn't buy.
   Sorry, I don't know Prolog and can't answer any questions.

It is included in the IC-Prolog distribution
file /pub/languages/icprolog/pd-ICP-<VERSION>.tar.Z on doc.ic.ac.uk.

It's in the directory computing/programming/languages/prolog/icprolog.
There is MacProlog source in a further subdirectory, lo, or you can grab the
icprolog distribution, pd-ICP-0.90.tar.Z, which includes an icprolog version
of L&O.  Unfortunately, there is essentially no documentation of L&O in the
distribution other than the source :-) so you'll probably need the book to
use it.

The documentation for L&O is being prepared and it will be available very
soon together with the whole system. If anybody is in a hurry about it, just
email to me and I'll send you a draft of the manual in LaTeX format. 

The manual does not replace the book. It gives a brief description of the 
language and the system but the programming methodology behind it is described 
in the book `Logic & Objects' by Frank McCabe (Prentice Hall Intl.).

Together with the manual, there will be a few fixes in the code as well. So the
source will serve better than before as an on-line manual:-)

As the system (IC Prolog ][ but especially L&O on top of it) is still under 
development, we would appreciate any comments, suggestions, bug reports etc.

For IC Prolog ][, contact Damian Chu (dac@doc.ic.ac.uk) while for L&O itself
email to me (zb@doc.ic.ac.uk).

Regards,
Zac.

I take it this is not the IC-Prolog of Clark and McCabe from the dim &
distant past.  Can anyone give a quick summary of the new system - what
features is has etc.

IC Prolog ][ is a new prolog with the following added features
1) Multi threading - allows multiple prolog threads to be run concurrently.
2) Parlog - the system includes a parlog component. Prolog threads and parlog can
   comunicate through pipes. The parlog sub system is not included in the public
   domain version as there is a small fee for this.
3) Communication primitives - the system includes TCP primitives for inter process
    communication
4) Mailboxes - a high level communication system allowing multiple
   senders/receivers of data.

There was a paper presented at Keele describing some features of the language
which should hopefuly apear in the proceedings:
``I.C Prolog ][: a Language for Implementing Multi-Agent Systems'',
Yannis Cosmadopoulos and Damian Chu
in {\em  Tutorial and Workshop on Cooperating Knowledge Based Systems
September 23-25, 1992, Keele University}

After a number of requests and queries, here is an updated version of my last
posting.

  Due to popular demand I have placed a postscript version of this file on
	laotzu.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.21.1)
  accessible via anonymous ftp in file
	/pub/icp-paper.ps.Z
  This directory is mirrored on src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.2.1)
  as /computing/programming/languages/prolog/icprolog/
  so it should apear there soon.

You can get a copy of IC-Prolog ][ for sun3, sun4 by anonymous ftp from
	src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.2.1)
IC-Prolog ][ is in the directory
	/computing/programming/languages/prolog/icprolog/
in file
	pd-ICP-0.92.tar.Z
The directory also holds a subdirectory lo with a macintosh version of logic and
objects
