Description
A Prolog development system initially supplied in 1985 for DOS with a version for 16 bit OS/2 following a few years after, these 16 bit systems were sold on a modular basis, you could start out by buying an interpreter, then add a compiler, SQL Sever and so on. The initial version shipped for 32 bit OS/2 was a new development of the compiler and interpreter and not fully compatible with the older Arity/Prolog version 6 for 16 bit DOS and OS/2.
Version
Arity/Prolog32
- Latest version for OS/2 and Windows: v.1.1

- Only sold as a bundle for US$ 2450 for the OS/2 version + Windows NT version.
Arity/Prolog
- Last known version for 16 bit OS/2 and DOS: V6
- 2 to 5 times faster than the 16 bit version of V6.
