Resources

Except where noted, the following resources require an internet connection to use.

1. Kinship Editor. You can get a application version of the Kinship editor from the Resources folder on this site. Open the Kinship Editor folder and read the README file for instructions for what to copy to your hard disk and how to run the program.

2. Prolog. You can get a simple application version of the Prolog interpret from the Resources folder at the top of this CD. Open the Prolog folder and read the README file for instructions for what to copy to your hard disk and how to run the program.

This is a very basic prolog, and as it is implemented in Java, is relatively slow (though it is adequate for many purposes!). You will find faster and more powerful versions at the following URL:
