The Ada-based tools should be trivial to port - we've worked
really hard to make this work on all platforms straight out of the
box with GNAT GPL 2009 or almost any recent build of GNAT Pro.

The PROLOG-based tools (Simplifier and Checker) could be
more problematical, since we currently use the SICSTUS PROLOG
compiler.  A port to GNU PROLOG would be an interesting little
project to try.

All the best,
 Rod
