Epsilon's MProlog/386 lets you run Prolog applications with high
demands on memory size and execution speed on 80386-based
personal computers.
 
Executing in protected mode, MProlog/386 takes full advantage
of the 32-bit architecture of the 80386 but runs under DOS.
Without the need to switch to another operating system,
MProlog/386 overcomes the 640K-byte limitation and lets you
use up to 16 megabytes of memory, either real or virtual.
 
The integrated window and menu system facilitates development
of window-based applications. A compiler generates efficient
native code with an execution speed of 110K logical instructions
per second (on a 20-MHz CPU with cache). The external language
interface lets you call routines written in C, Pascal, or
assembly language.
 
The system offers the same language features as the other
versions for VAX/VMS, Sun3/Unix, and the IBM System/370 under
VM/CMS, and it provides for the development of portable Prolog
programs for computers of different manufacturers. It includes a
set of built-in predicates for integer and real arithmetic, input
and output of characters, tokens, terms and records, handling of
system and user-defined exceptions, and manipulation of the
Prolog database in backtrackable and nonbacktrackable versions.
 
MProlog/386 requires an 80386-based personal computer with at
least 2 megabytes of RAM, DOS 3.0, a hard disk drive, and EGA
or VGA.
 
Price: 2000 deutsche marks for the development system without the
compiler; 5000 deutsche marks for the production system with the
compiler.
