- Archive-name: auto/comp.lang.prolog/Public-domain-s-w-now-on-FTP
-
- My library of public-domain software is at last FTP-able, from the
- Imperial College archive at
- src.doc.ic.ac.uk
-
- The equivalent numerical address is
- 146.169.2.1
-
- The entries live in the directory
- computing/programming/languages/prolog/pd-software
- with a short-cut entry of:
- packages/prolog-pd-software
- I.e., to access it, 'cd' to either of the above.
-
- All entries are stored as <entry>.tar.Z. They are in compressed TAR
- format, so once you have fetched them, uncompress, and then de-tar the
- result. Users of Unix systems should have no problem with this, since
- tar and uncompress are standard utilities. Those using other systems may
- not be so lucky, though the utilities are now available for VMS, at
- least. Remember to switch into binary mode before fetching these files.
-
- The file README gives a brief summary of the contents of the directory,
- and CATALOGUE gives a (long!) description of each entry. Entries
- include the Logic Programming Tutor from my book, the DEC-10
- public-domain library, the Linger natural-language corrector, a simple
- object-oriented add-on for Prolog, graph utilities, and a number of
- other things.
-
-
- Additions are very welcome - I want to keep accumulating useful software.
- There are lots of utilities which must have been written but haven't been
- donated - B-tree predicates, planners, hypertext engines, constraint
- algebra systems, sorting predicates, to mention but a few. Give others
- the benefit of your software!
-
-
- [ Temporary warning. The latest README, CATALOGUE, and three of the
- entries are currently sitting in the archive's /tmp directory, waiting
- to be copied. They will probably be in their final resting place by
- Tuesday. ]
