My library of public-domain software is at last FTP-able, from the
Imperial College archive at
    src.doc.ic.ac.uk

The equivalent numerical address is
    146.169.2.1

The entries live in the directory
        computing/programming/languages/prolog/pd-software
with a short-cut entry of:
        packages/prolog-pd-software
I.e., to access it, 'cd' to either of the above.

All entries are stored as <entry>.tar.Z. They are in compressed TAR
format, so once you have fetched them, uncompress, and then de-tar the
result. Users of Unix systems should have no problem with this, since
tar and uncompress are standard utilities. Those using other systems may
not be so lucky, though the utilities are now available for VMS, at
least. Remember to switch into binary mode before fetching these files.

The file README gives a brief summary of the contents of the directory,
and CATALOGUE gives a (long!) description of each entry. Entries
include the Logic Programming Tutor from my book, the DEC-10
public-domain library, the Linger natural-language corrector, a simple
object-oriented add-on for Prolog, graph utilities, and a number of
other things.


Additions are very welcome - I want to keep accumulating useful software.
There are lots of utilities which must have been written but haven't been
donated - B-tree predicates, planners, hypertext engines, constraint
algebra systems, sorting predicates, to mention but a few. Give others
the benefit of your software!


[ Temporary warning. The latest README, CATALOGUE, and three of the
entries are currently sitting in the archive's /tmp directory, waiting
to be copied. They will probably be in their final resting place by
Tuesday. ]
