- I have been looking for a version of Prolog for the ST ever
- since I took an introductory course in Prolog in the fall of
- 1990. We used Borland's Turbo Prolog in the class and it ran
- acceptably under PC Ditto on my ST but I wanted a ST specific
- version. I finally found this ST version on a CN Gold PD disk.
- Don't let the title TOY Prolog fool you as it did me (I was
- expecting to see a version of Micro-prolog). This is a full
- version of the Prolog language which conforms closely to the
- version used in Clocksin and Mellish's book: Programming In
- Prolog. The program comes from Germany originally and the
- included Docs are in German (waiting for an English translation;
- anyone out there want to volunteer?). Some of the sample programs
- are in English however so you can pick up some info. TOY Prolog
- includes some ST specific predicates and allows access to the VDI
- functions.
-
- To use the program you first write your Prolog program on
- your favorite editor and then after starting the TOY Prolog
- program, type: consult(your_filename). Don't forget the period.
- You may now query your program. To exit the interpreter type:
- stop.
-
- Refer to the file PROL_TOY.DOC for some more introductory
- info. When I find some time, I'll try to post some example
- programs for beginning Prolog programmers.
