Hi Siddharth,

I don't know anything about FSA, but according to the URL you gave, FSA is able to run on 
SICStus, YAP and SWI Prolog. This probably means that it does not make extensive use of 
features specific to any of these Prologs (except for the Tcl/Tk interface in SICStus, of 
course), so my guess would be that it could be ported to run on ECLiPSe as well.

You can try and port the code to ECLiPSe, perhaps with either lib(sicstus) or lib(swi) to help 
you, and/or you could check with the FSA people, as perhaps they may be interested in 
supporting ECLiPSe as well.

Cheers,

Kish
