Don't Borland make a version of Prolog to run on the PC, Turbo Prolog?
If you want a compiler there is the Arity compiler, again for MS-DOS systems,
but it costs a few thousand (dollars or pounds, depending on which side of
the Atlantic you're on).

CProlog V1.2 is the current prolog interpreter system from the University of
Edinburgh, running on our 11/780 under Unix. I don't know if it can be ported
onto the machines you describe, but you never know, anything's possible. If
you want to learn Prolog, try Clocksin & Mellish "Programming in Prolog", 
which is an excellent tutorial guide.

Hope this helps,
