Some comments regarding the recent inquiry regarding Prolog for the Mac:

First, despite the posters comments, CProlog is NOT in the public domain.
Though the academic license is real cheap, it is needed.  I believe an
industry license is big $$.  (Note: I maintain an 'alternate' version
of CProlog that compiles under more systems, like UTS,  than the original.)
I have NOT yet tried to compile it under Mac OS (please dont ask), though
it seems to work under some other (un-named) OS.

I dont know if Quintus or BIM have a Mac version yet, of if they ever
will.  I'm pretty sure that at least BIM was thinking of it.

If Turbo Prolog for the Mac ever comes out _DONT BUY IT_.  It is trash.

A commercial Mac Prolog that I highly recommend is by ALS.  I believe
they are about ready to ship the Mac version.  The PC version has been
out a while.  (Note: i have ties to ALS, so this is biased.  However,
it really seems nice!).  Their phone number is: 315 471 3900.
