original Fortran source for Prolog

by spectre＠floodgap.com

There are references in the literature to a Fortran Prolog interpreter, apparently written by Alain Colmerauer himself with Phillippe Roussel. Actually finding this interpreter, despite copious references to it, has been considerably more difficult. There are also references to a Berkeley Prolog (not University of California) that is also in Fortran. Does anyone have a lead on, or possess, any of these small early interpreters? Yes, I know about the WAM, gcc prolog, etc. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser at floodgap.com -- Male Macintosh geeks are so predictable.

Amstard PPC640D - boot idsk?

by peter＠vanpeborgh.eu

1987 vintage. I have this one in beautiful condition, although batteries may be tired. Does anyone out there have a functioning system disk for its drive A? The ones I have are duff or not the correct type of disk - difficult to tell. DOS 3.3 is the revision of DOS required. Thanks. || | | | | | | | | Peter Van Peborgh 62 St Mary's Rise Writhlington Radstock Somerset BA3 3PD UK 01761 439 234 || | | | | | | | |

I hate to say that Lee was wrong, but I've been able to locate the user manual for the Osborne battery I have. It was called the Powr-Pac(tm). The manual is printed with a tan and blue cover, just like the rest of my Osborne software manuals. Copyright is 1982. The Part Number in the manual is 3F-00128-00. If anyone wants a scan of the manual, email me. Bob

I meant Scion PC 640 was Re: Psion PC 640

by rampaginggreenhulk＠yahoo.com

why would I intentionally make posts difficult to read, being Im looking for responses to sometimes obscure queries?? Yahoo upgraded itself recently and no longer inserts the conventional >. Sorry I refuse to do that manually. Perhaps theres a setting I could alter. I saw an Australian bloke post as Ive been, even when it wasnt apparently necessary, on the usenet, and figured it was appropriate. It never seemed unreadable to me. ------------------------------ On Tue, Sep 18, 2012 2:05 PM PDT Vincent Slyngstad wrote: >From: "geneb": Tuesday, September 18, 2012 12:52 PM >> On Tue, 18 Sep 2012, Chris Tofu wrote: >> C:\DERP> I don't understand the question.

Im looking at a picture of one, albeit small, but I see nothing approaching the size of a crt controller. Did the MicroAngelo have one?

Sequent SE20 any interest?

by shadoooo＠gmail.com

Hello, what Diablo drive do you have? I'm searching for drives (fixed or cartridges) for a Data General (SMD or custom interface) and for a PDP (SMD / SDI interface). If you have some drives, please contact me before they go to the scrap. Thanks Andrea > Some might have to go to scrap (ie. Diablo drives that people don't want to ship).
