If you want to play with the XSB or Smodels rule systems (as opposed to just translating rule-set files that are in their rule language formats), then YOU MUST INSTALL THOSE RULE SYSTEMS SEPARATELY. See Reference pointers (6 and 7) for information on how to obtain those rule systems. XSB runs on Windows and on Unix; Smodels runs only on Unix.
