Not a lot to say. Cowan wrote it up in one of the last JL issues, with examples, which I hope to get up on line soon. Basically all PROLOG statements map fairly trivially into Lojban bridi. Nick Nicholas worked on a Lojban-to-PROLOG translator for a subset of Lojban, which is probably either on the lojban.org site or his homepage. I recall that the only PROLOG statement that does not have an obvious Lojban equivalent is the cut, which seems like a job for a metalinguistic bridi. Those who actually know something about PROLOG may be more informative. lojbab ---- lojbab ***NOTE NEW ADDRESS*** lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: see Lojban WWW Server: href=" http://xiron.pc.helsinki.fi/lojban/ " Order _The Complete Lojban Language_ - see our Web pages or ask me.
