Daniel Diaz responded to an email on the users-prolog@gnu.org list as
recently as May 2005 (this year). There have been about 8 posts by him
to that list this year, all in response to comments from others. So he
does not appear to have abandoned gprolog entirely.

It has been a long time since he released an update: the last version
he posted was a limited beta 1.2.18 in March of 2004 (last year). I
inquired about the status of this beta in January of this year and he
never responded.

The Sourceforge project for gprolog has long been moribund. Although I
have asked him why, he has never responded on that subject either.

(I *have* successfully corresponded with him in the past regarding my
port of gprolog to Mac OS X.)

This is a matter of some concern to me because I have based my XGP
project on GProlog. sigh.

Lindsey Spratt
