   Would anyone know how to get information about MacProlog 3.0 or 3.5?
   I've tried to start it up on a Quadra 660 AV and a Powermac 7100 and I
   systematically get "error type 1" messages.
   Are there incompatibilities with the systems I try to run it on?
   Thanks

MacProlog 3.X is written for the early Macintosh 24 bit operating
systems.  Every Mac up to the Quadras except for the AV models had
24 bit options, but the AV Quadras and all the PowerMacs no longer
have the 24 bit emulation capabilities.  Both the 660AV and the 7100
need MacProlog32.  

Note that MacProlog32 will run on the PowerMacs only if the "Modern
Memory Model" (in the Memory control panel) is turned off.  I
suspect this incompatibility may be fixed by the very soon to be
released 7.5 system update from Apple.
