Abstract :
A syntax-directed translator has been implemented to translate Prolog programs from Arity dialect into Quintus dialect. A comparison of the features of the two dialects, the strategies used in writing the translator, and the implementation considerations are described. Experience gained by using the translator to port an Arity version of FAIRS, an information retrieval system, to a VAX Unix environment is presented
