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:/pub/programming/languages/LogicFunctional/ (aka simpson.germany.eu.net) as the files alf_*.zoo (Documentation, C sources for the emulator, the preprocessor and the compiler). For further information, contact Rudolf Opalla <opalla@julien.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>. 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:/coral/. 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, <raghu@ricotta.cs.wisc.edu>. 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. Lolli is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cis.upenn.edu:/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:/pub/Lolli/binaries/ At present Sparc and NeXT binaries are available. If you compile lolli on a new architecture, please contact Josh Hodas at <hodas@saul.cis.upenn.edu> so that he can make your binary available.
