Subject: [2-1] Public Domain or Free Prolog Implementations

The following list of free Prolog and logic programming
implementations excludes those listed in the comp.lang.lisp FAQ (i.e.,
Prolog interpreters written in Lisp).  Note that commercial prolog
implementations are often more robust and better supported than public
domain and free prolog implementations.

   A.D.A. Public Domain Prolog:
      aisun1.ai.uga.edu:ai.prolog/adapdpro.zip

      A rather slow implementation of Prolog for MS-DOS systems, originally
      a product of Automata Design Associates (now defunct), 1570
      Arran Way, Dresker, PA 19025, 215-335-5400.

   ALF:
      ALF (Algebraic Logic Functional programming language) is a
      language which combines functional and logic programming techniques.
      The foundation of ALF is Horn clause logic with equality which
      consists of predicates and Horn clauses for logic programming, and
      functions and equations for functional programming.  The abstract
      machine is based on the Warren Abstract Machine (WAM) with several
      extensions to implement narrowing and rewriting.    In the current
      implementation programs of this abstract machine are executed by an
      emulator written in C. It is available by anonymous ftp from
      ftp.germany.eu.net (aka simpson.germany.eu.net) in the directory
      /pub/programming/languages/LogicFunctional as the files alf_*.zoo
      (Documentation, C sources for the emulator, the preprocessor and the
      compiler). For further information, contact Rudolf Opalla
      <[e-mail]>.

   Aquarius Prolog:

      Aquarius Prolog is a high-performance, portable Prolog implementation
      developed since 1989 by the Aquarius Project at UC/Berkeley, the Advanced
      Computer Architecture Laboratory (ACAL) at the University of Southern
      California (USC), and at Digital Equipment Corporation's Paris Research
      Laboratory. The developers are Tom Getzinger, Ralph Clarke Haygood, and
      Peter Van Roy. Aquarius Prolog includes:

     - A compiler with global analysis.  The compiler is built around the
       Berkeley Abstract Machine (BAM) execution model for Prolog. BAM
       retains desirable features of the Warren Abstract Machine (WAM),
       but allows for significant further optimizations and is easier to
       map onto actual general-purpose machines.

     - A back-end that maps the BAM onto various actual general-purpose
       machines, including MIPS R3000 (DEC Ultrix and MIPS RISC/os),
       SPARC (SunOS), HP 9000 300/400 with MC68020, MC68030 or MC68040
       processors (HP-UX), and Sun3 (SunOS).

     - A run-time system offering substantially the same built-in
           predicates and memory management as Quintus Prolog, with additions
           such as two kinds of destructive assignment.  Most of the built-in
           predicates are written in Prolog, with little or no performance
           penalty.

      Aquarius Prolog also includes an interpreter and documentation.
      Aquarius Prolog comes in two distributions, Enduser and Full. The
      latter includes full source code and implementation notes.

      Aquarius Prolog may be obtained free of charge from USC, after signing
      and returning a license agreement. To get the license agreement, send a
      message to [e-mail] with
     get aquarius-info license
      in the message body. To get more information about the Full and
      Enduser distributions, send the listserver a message containing
      one or both of the two lines:
          get aquarius-info readme-full
          get aquarius-info readme-enduser
      To subscribe to the aquarius-prolog mailing list, send the listserver a
      message with body:
          subscribe aquarius-prolog <Your real name here>
      To get more information about the abilities of the listserver, send it a
      message with 'help' in the body.

      For further information, write to University of Southern California,
      Advanced Computer Architecture Laboratory (ACAL), Attn: Aquarius Prolog
      Licensing, 3740 S. McClintock, Suite 131, Los Angeles, CA 90089-2561, or
      send email to [e-mail].

   BinProlog:
      clement.info.umoncton.ca:BinProlog/binpro.1.71.tar.Z [139.103.16.2]
      The file papers.tar.Z contains papers related to the implementation.

      BinProlog replaces the WAM by a more compact continuation passing
      logic engine based on a mapping of full Prolog to binary logic
      programs.  BinProlog is free for research and other non-profit
      purposes. Version 1.71 runs on Sparc, Sun3, NeXT, and 386/486. The
      compiler makes 400 KLIPS on a Sparc 10-20 (101 KLIPS on a NeXT) and
      still uses a very small (38K under Solaris 2.1) emulator, making it
      among the fastest freely available C-emulated Prologs. Comments and
      bug reports should be sent to [e-mail].

   CLP(R):
      CLP(R) is a constraint logic programming language with real-arithmetic
      constraints.  The implementation contains a built-in constraint solver
      which deals with linear arithmetic and contains a mechanism for delaying
      nonlinear constraints until they become linear.  Since CLP(R) subsumes
      PROLOG, the system is also usable as a general-purpose logic programming
      language.     It icnludes facilities for meta-programming with constraints.
      The system consists of a compiler, byte-code emulator, and constraint
      solver. CLP(R) is written entirely in C and runs on Suns, Vaxen,
      MIPS-based machines (Decstations, Silicon Graphics), IBM RS6000s and
      PS2s. Includes MS-DOS support. It is available free from IBM for
      academic and research purposes only. For more information, write
      to Joxan Jaffar, H1-D48, IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center,
      P.O. Box 704, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, or send email to
      [e-mail] or [e-mail]. Current version 1.2.

   Common ESP:
      Common ESP is an object-oriented system by the AI Language Research
      Institute. The binary is free for R & D use only -- send 1/4in CMT
      Sun3 and Sun4 (Sparc) with Sun OS R4.0.3, R4.1 or R4.1.1. For more
      information, write to AI Language Research Institute Ltd, Yoshitoku
      Bldg, Shiba 3-15-14, Minato-Ku, Tokyo 105, Japan, fax [phone],
      or send email to [e-mail].

   CORAL:
      CORAL is a deductive database/logic programming system developed at
      the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It is a declarative language
      based on Horn-clause rules with extensions like SQL's group-by and
      aggregation operators, and uses a Prolog-like syntax.

      CORAL is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.wisc.edu.  The
      distribution includes source code compatible with AT&T C++ Version 2.0
      or later, executables for Decstations and SUN 4s, the CORAL User
      Manual, and some related papers containing a language overview and
      implementation details.  (A version of the source code compatible with
      GNU g++ will be available shortly.) For more information, contact
      Raghu Ramakrishnan, <[e-mail]>.

   cu-Prolog:
      cu-Prolog is an experimental constraint logic programming language
      available free from Japan's Institute for New Generation Computer
      Technology (ICOT). Unlike most conventional CLP systems, cu-Prolog
      allows user-defined predicates as constraints and is suitable for
      implementing a natural language processing system based on the
      unification-based grammar. For example, the cu-Prolog developers
      implemented a JPSG (Japanese Phrase Structure Grammar) parser in
      cu-Prolog with the JPSG Working Group (the chairman is Prof. GUNJI,
      Takao of Osaka University) at ICOT. cu-Prolog is a complete
      implementation of Constraint Unification (cu), hence the name.
      cu-Prolog is implemented in C for BSD UNIX 4.2/3. Professor Sirai of
      Chukyo-University has also implemented cu-Prolog for the Apple
      Macintosh and DJ's GPP (80386/486 MS-DOS machine with the DOS
      extender). cu-Prolog is available free by anonymous ftp from
      ftp.icot.or.jp. For further information, send email to [e-mail],
      or write to ICOT Free Software Desk, Institute for New Generation
      Computer Technology, 21st Floor, Mita Kokusai Bldg., 4-28, Mita
      1-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo 108, Japan, fax [phone].

   ECLiPSe:
      ECLiPSe (ECRC Logic Programming System) combines the functionalities
      of several ECRC systems, including Sepia, MegaLog and CHIP.  ECLiPSe
      includes a Prolog compiler with extended functionality that is Quintus
      and SICStus compatible, a tightly connected database system based on
      the BANG file system, a CLP system containing several libraries with
      various types of constraint handling schemes, and an X11-based graphic
      system (KEGI).  The BANG database can store not only relations, but
      also any Prolog structures and programs. ECLiPSe also includes a
      profiler, user-definable syntax, metaterms as first-class citizens,
      coroutining, unlimited precision integer and rational numbers, and a
      library for generalized propagation Propia. ECLiPSe is available for a
      nominal fee of DM 300 (~$200) to all academic and government-sponsored
      organizations. It is distributed in binary form for Sun-3 and Sparc
      machines. Send orders or requests for further information to
      [e-mail] or write to ECRC, Arabellastrasse 17,
      D-8000 Munich 81, Germany. The ECLiPSe documentation (ASCII and dvi)
      and some shareware packages ported to ECliPSe are now available by
      anonymous ftp from ecrc.de:/pub/eclipse. To subscribe to the
      [e-mail] mailing list, send mail to [e-mail].

   eLP:
      eLP (Ergo Lambda Prolog) is an interpreter written by Conal Elliott,
      Frank Pfenning and Dale Miller in Common Lisp and implements the core
      of lambda Prolog (higher-order hereditary Harrop formulas). It is
      embedded in a larger development environment called ESS (the Ergo
      Support System).  eLP implements all core language feature and offers
      a module system, I/O, some facilities for tracing, error handling,
      arithmetic, recursive top-levels, on-line documentation and a number
      of extended examples, including many programs from Amy Felty's and
      John Hannan's thesis.  It should run in Allegro Common Lisp, Lucid
      Common Lisp, Kyoto Common Lisp, CMU Common Lisp and Ibuki Common Lisp.
      The eLP implementation of lambda Prolog is no longer developed or
      maintained, but it is still available via anonymous ftp from
      ftp.cs.cmu.edu:/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/ergo/export/ess/. The file
      ergolisp.tar.Z contains the Ergo project's extensions to Common Lisp,
      including some facilities for attributes and dealing with abstract
      syntax trees. The file sb.tar.Z contains the Ergo
      Parser/Unparser/Formatter generator and ab.tar.Z contains the Ergo
      Attribute Grammar facility. The file elp.tar.Z contains the Ergo
      implementation of lambda Prolog.  To customize grammars you need the
      sb.tar.Z file.  When you retrieve the system, please print, fill out,
      and send in a copy of the non-restrictive license you will find in the
      file LICENSE. To subscribe to the [e-mail] mailing list, send
      mail to [e-mail]. Bugs should be sent to
      [e-mail].

   ESL Prolog-2 (PD Version):
      ai.uga.edu:ai.prolog/eslpdpro.zip [128.192.12.9]

      A prolog for MS-DOS systems with good performance. It deviates
      slightly from Edinburgh standard (strings "like this" are not lists
      of ASCII codes), but you can add a declaration that makes it fully
      Edinburgh-compatible. (Add the line
       :- state(token_class,_,dec10).
      at the beginning of the program.) It is a more limited version
      of the interpreter from the Commercial Version (see [2-2] below).
      [Please note that ESL Prolog is NOT a UGA product, they just run
      the machine on which a copy is made available. Anyone with
      questions should contact ESL in Oxford, England (see [2-2] below).]

   Goedel:
      GOEDEL is intended to be a declarative successor to Prolog.  The
      main design aim of Goedel is to have functionality and expressiveness
      similar to Prolog, but to have greatly improved declarative semantics
      compared with Prolog.  This improved declarative semantics has
      substantial benefits for program construction, verification,
      debugging, transformation, and so on. Considerable emphasis is placed
      on Goedel's meta-logical facilities, since this is where Prolog is
      most deficient.  In particular, Goedel has declarative replacements
      for Prolog's var, nonvar, assert, and retract.  Goedel is a strongly
      typed language, its type system being based on many-sorted logic with
      parametric polymorphism. The release includes the Goedel system, a
      draft book on the language, a user manual, and 50 example programs.
      Goedel must be compiled in SICStus Prolog; a sparc executable is
      included in the distribution. Goedel is available by anonymous ftp
      from ftp.cs.kuleuven.ac.be:/pub/logic-prgm/goedel [134.58.41.2] and
      ftp.cs.bris.ac.uk:/goedel [137.222.102.102]. For more information,
      write to [e-mail]. Please send an email message to
      this address (with your name, institution and address) to this address
      when you obtain the system.

   IC Prolog:
      doc.ic.ac.uk:/pub/languages/icprolog/pd-ICP-<VERSION>.tar.Z
      src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/computing/programming/languages/prolog/icprolog/.
      Runs on Sun3, Sun4. There is MacProlog source in a further subdirectory.

      Produced by Imperial College, IC Prolog includes multi-threading,
      parlog, TCP primitives, communication primitives, and "mailboxes", a
      high level communication system.    Includes the preprocessor for the
      prolog language extension L&O from the book "Logic & Objects".

      See also Yannis Cosmadopoulos and Damian Chu, "IC Prolog ][: a
      Language for Implementing Multi-Agent Systems", in Tutorial and
      Workshop on Cooperating Knowledge Based Systems, September 23-25,
      1992, Keele University. A copy of this paper may be found ing
      laotzu.doc.ic.ac.uk [146.169.21.1] as /pub/icp-paper.ps.Z, or on

      Prolog, and contact Zacharias Bobolakis <[e-mail]> for
      information about L&O.

   Prolog/Mali (Lambda-Prolog):
      Prolog/Mali is a compiler for the higher-order language Lambda-Prolog.
      Lambda-Prolog is an extension of Prolog defined by Miller (Miller,
      D.A., and Nadathur, G., "Higher-order logic programming", 3rd
      International Conference on Logic Programming, pages 448-462, London
      1986). It is an extension of Prolog where terms are simply typed
      lambda terms and clauses are higher order hereditary Harrop formulas.
      The main novelties are universal quantification on goals and
      implication.  Prolog/Mali is a complete system which includes a C
      translator, a linker, libraries, runtime, and documentation, and runs
      on UNIX.  It requires the MALI-V06 abstract memory package.
      Prolog/Mali is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.irisa.fr:pm/.
      Written by Pascal Brisset <[e-mail]> (or <[e-mail]>)
      and Olivier Ridoux ([e-mail]). To be added to the mailing list,
      send mail to [e-mail]. For more information, send
      mail to [e-mail].

   LIFE:
      LIFE (Logic, Inheritance, Functions, and Equations) is an experimental
      programming language with a powerful facility for structured type
      inheritance. It reconciles styles from functional programming, logic
      programming, and object-oriented programming. It subsumes the
      functionality of its precursor languages LOGIN and Le_Fun, and may be
      seen as an extension of Prolog. The syntax of Wild_LIFE has been kept
      as close as possible to that of the Edinburgh standard for Prolog.
      LIFE offers natively high-level abstraction facilities and convenient
      data and control structures particularly well-suited for AI
      programming. LIFE implements a constraint logic programming language
      with equality (unification) and entailment (matching) constraints over
      order-sorted feature terms. The interplay of unification and matching
      provides an implicit coroutining facility thanks to an automatic
      suspension mechanism. This allows interleaving interpretation of
      relational and functional expressions which specify structural
      dependencies on objects. The Wild_LIFE interpreter is the first
      implementation of the LIFE language available to the general public.
      It is a product of the Paradise project at Digital Equipment
      Corporation's Paris Research Laboratory (DEC PRL). Wild_LIFE runs on
      DECstations (Ultrix), SparcStations and RS/6000 systems and should
      be portable to other Unix workstations. It is implemented in C,
      and includes an interface to X Windows. Wild_LIFE is available
      by anonymous ftp from gatekeeper.dec.com:pub/plan as the file
      Life.tar.Z. To be added to the mailing list ([e-mail]),
      send mail to [e-mail]. Send bug reports to
      [e-mail].

   Lolli:
      Lolli is an interpreter for logic programming based on linear logic
      principles. Lolli, named for the linear logic implication operator
      "-o" called lollipop, is a full implementation of the language
      described in the paper "Logic Programming in a Fragment of
      Intuitionistic Linear Logic" (Josh Hodas & Dale Miller, to appear in
      Information and Computation), though it differs a bit in syntax, and
      has several built-in extra-logical predicates and operators. To
      retrieve a copy of the Lolli system, ftp (anonymously) to
      ftp.cis.upenn.edu and retrieve the file pub/Lolli/Lolli-07.tar.Z. This
      distribution includes full ML source, along with a Makefile, as well
      as several background papers and a collection of example programs. For
      those who do not have SML-NJ at their site, the authors hope to
      provide pre-built binaries for a variety of architectures. These
      binaries can be found on ftp.cis.upenn.edu in the directory
      pub/Lolli/binaries. At present Sparc and NeXT binaries are available.
      If you compile lolli on a new architecture, please contact Josh Hodas
      at <[e-mail]> so that he can make your binary
      available.


   Open Prolog:
      Open Prolog (OP) is a Prolog interpreter for the Apple Macintosh.

      It follows the so-called 'Edinburgh' syntax and supports most standard
      Prolog features, including Definite Clause Grammars.
      Extra predicates can be added via drop-in external predicates, similar to
      Hypercard's XCMDs.

      OP will work in any Macintosh from a Plus upwards, and is now
      32-bit clean.

      OP's home site is grattan.cs.tcd.ie [134.226.32.15] in
       languages/open-prolog
      It is also available from other sites, such as:
      sumex-aim.stanford.edu (info-mac)
         mac.archive.umich.edu [141.211.165.41]
         nexus.yorku.ca:/pub/prolog/  [130.63.9.1]
         aisun1.ai.uga.edu [128.192.12.9]
         /afs/umich.edu/group/itd/archive/mac/development/languages

      Department, Trinity College, Dublin 2, IRELAND, send email to
      [e-mail], call [phone], or fax [phone] (5 hours
      ahead of East Coast US time).


   PCN:
      PCN (Program Composition Notation) is not a logic programming
      language, but it has similarities to Strand and other concurrent logic
      programming languages. PCN is a parallel programming system that
      provides a simple language for specifying concurrent algorithms,
      interfaces to Fortran and C, a portable toolkit that allows
      applications to be developed on a workstation or small parallel
      computer and run unchanged on supercomputers, and integrated debugging
      and performance analysis tools. PCN includes a runtime system,
      compiler, linker, a set of standard libraries, virtual topology tools,
      a symbolic debugger (PDB), an execution profiler (Gauge), and a trace
      analysis tool (Upshot). PCN was developed at Argonne National
      Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology.  PCN runs on
      Sun4, NeXT, IBM RS/6000, SGI Iris, Intel iPSC/860, Intel Touchstone
      DELTA, Sequent Symmetry running Dynix (not PTX), and should be easy to
      port to other architectures. PCN is in the public domain and can be
      obtained by anonymous ftp from
     info.mcs.anl.gov:/pub/pcn/pcn_v2.0.tar.Z
      The distribution includes a user's guide containing a tutorial and
      reference material. For further information on PCN, please send email to
      <[e-mail]> or contact Ian Foster <[e-mail]>

   XSB:
      XSB is a Prolog-based Logic Programming System that extends the
      standard functionality of Prolog with an implementation of OLDT
      (tabling) and HiLog terms. It is a descendent of PSB-Prolog and
      SB-Prolog. OLDT resolution is useful for recursive query computation,
      allowing programs to terminate correctly in many cases where Prolog
      does not. HiLog supports a type of higher-order programming in which
      predicate symbols can be variable or structured.  This allows
      unification to be performed on the predicate symbols themselves in
      addition to the arguments of the predicates. XSB runs on Sun3, Sun4,
      and NeXT, and can be compiled using either the GNU C compiler or the
      Sun C compiler. THIS IS A BETA RELEASE. XSB is available by anonymous
      ftp from sbcs.sunysb.edu:pub/XSB/XSB.tar.Z [130.245.1.15]. For further
      information, write to XSB Research Group, Computer Science Department,
      SUNY at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, NY 11794, or send email to
