Two implementations of Prolog that I know of for ibm pc compatibles
that meet the standards of inexpensive and readily available are:

Automata Design Associates (ADA) Prolog.  They have several versions
available, including an interpreter that's public domain.  You should
be able to find it on a local PC bulletin board; I know that it's on
these two:
	Wipcus BBS  1-313-663-1835  (Ann Arbor, MI) (prolog.arc)
	Computer Aide  1-918-493-2137 (Tulsa, OK)   (pdprolog.arc)

Borland International's Turbo Prolog.  This is an interpreter and a
compiler; it requires 512K memory, and 640K would be welcomed.  Lots
of system-specific features, like windowing, graphics, access to DOS
calls; syntax is mostly standard, but it's missing some language
features like operator declarations. List is $99, it should probably
retail for something in the mid-$70 range.

I'm new to Prolog, and I know this list isn't complete.  I'm starting
to learn Turbo Prolog right now; it seems quick, has a built-in editor,
decent documentation and 50+ example programs.
