Two versions are available, Prolog V > for $69.95, and Prolog V-plus for $99.95. I haven't ordered it yet, but I plan to. When I called the folks at Chalcedony to check on system requirements, they told me that their products are actually MS-DOS compatible ... so they should work on alot more machines than just IBM-PC's and clones. The also said something about a new release becoming available soon (that should be just about now, as they were saying "in about two weeks", and that was about 6 weeks ago :-) ). I sure wish more s/w companies would advertise the true system requirements for their products ... if the s/w only requires MS-DOS, then advertise it as MS-DOS/PC-DOS compatible. That would increase their potential market by something like 25%, which sure couldn't hurt! /kim -- UUCP: {decvax,ucbvax,ihnp4}!decwrl!mips!kim DDD: 415-960-1200 USPS: MIPS Computer Systems Inc, 1330 Charleston Rd, Mt View, CA 94043
