| Off-topic question: Does anyone have a clue as to why Lisp is more widely
| regarded as the AI language of choice than Prolog or the later langs?

  Maybe it has something to do with the fact that (Common) Lisp is a
  _vastly_ more powerful language than Prolog...?

  See Kaz Kylheku's recent message

<agno63$b1r$2@luna.vcn.bc.ca>

  which, admittedly, deals with C++ and data structures, but you should get
  the point.  It actually addresses the point that Lisp is the most widely
  regarded language.  Period.

Chris.
