Time to dig out Colmerauers/Russells original Prolog
implementation in FORTRAN from the 1970's?

 > The first interpreter was written in Algol-W (1972),
with later interpreters written in FORTRAN (1973)! and
Pascal (1976). Though the Marseilles group and the
Edinburgh group collaborated until the mid-1970's,
they subequently went their own ways, leading to the
development of two families of Prolog dialects, each
with its own syntax. The Mareseilles dialect has
become largely extinct, though.
