- From the comp.lang.prolog FAQ:
-
- 2. Where can I get a public-domain, free Prolog for (the IBM PC,
- the Mac, Unix)?
-
- The following are anonymous-FTP sites for free Prologs
- which are either in the public domain or are "copy-lefted"
- (permitted to be copied with some restrictions on commercial use).
-
- (Please note that for extensive development work, users
- will probably want a robust interpreter or compiler with good
- debugging facilities and a standard syntax, among other things.
- While public-domain systems are a valuable service to the
- community, they do not necessarily have all these things, and
- users should weigh carefully what they want to do against the
- capabilities and costs of the available systems.)
-
- For the IBM PC:
- - BinProlog 1.39, anonymous FTP from clement.info.umoncton.ca

- the ease with which such crazed rumors could spread.
