Well, I did get a copy of the original version and am working on a new 
one.  Both have been added to the sourceforge CVS server in the gprolog 
contribs module as gplmysql . . .

Yea, in a round about way, it surfaced.  You might read my response to a 
similar question in the archive,

  http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/users-prolog/2002-January/001126.html

What sorts of interests do you have that might be served by the mix of
relational schema for the extension of your sets into the gprolog logic
programming framework ?

I have been considering using it to store n-tuple word sequence counts for
the FAQ distillery, currently visible at

  http://www.ai.uga.edu/~bancroft/pub/gplfaq/faq_parse.pl

In particular, the following dynamic predicates are cadidates for storing 
in the relational schema [2],

  :- dynamic( chunk/2 ).  
  :- dynamic( line/2 ).
  :- dynamic( message_interval/2 ).
  :- dynamic( transition/3 ).
  :- dynamic( transition/4 ).

The gplfaq example is in the early stages, the parsed chunks have not been
converted to words, much less mapped to something sophisticated like
WordNet [2].  Nor have the lines been transformed into proper utterances,
though the idea of a grammer emerging from the statistical frequency of
word use is intriguing.
