Hello!
The files on this disk are separated into several
directories. The distribution disk has the following major
objects:
PDPROLOG.EQE - the non-public domain, proprietary PROLOG language
interpreter. You may give PDPROLOG to anyone.
If you purchased a Prolog system from us, another disk contains
a copyrighted A.D.A. Prolog system.
<SAMPLES> - This disk directory contains a variety of Prolog
programming examples which illustrate some of the points of
Prolog programming. Note that the book mentioned above
unfortunately contains numerous mistakes in the examples. You
should refer to these files for the corrections.
<EXPERT> - This directory contains Simon Blackwell's public
domain expert system shell program. The documentation is not
complete yet.
<ATN> - This directory contains Lou Schumacher's natural
language parser. The initials "ATN" stand for augmented
transition network.
USQ.EXE - This program is the key to accessing the files on the
disk. Read the below explanation.
The files on this disk are supplied in squeezed format. You
can always tell a squeezed file because the part of the name
after the period has a "Q" as the second letter. For example,
the file "prolog.eqe" is the squeezed form of the file
"prolog.exe".
You can't execute or read a file that is squeezed unless you
unsqueeze it. This is done with the program "usq.exe" which is
supplied on this disk. Don't do this on the distribution disk -
there isn't enough room to hold the unsqueezed file. And make a
copy of the distribution disk and put the original safely away.
For example, to unsqueeze "prolog.exe", put the file
"prolog.eqe" on a disk or directory with sufficient space to hold
the unsqueezed file, put "usq.exe" on the same disk or some
other, and run usq, as in: "A>usq prolog.eqe (carriage return)".
The usq program will automatically generate "prolog.exe" with the
proper name, since that information is stored in the squeezed
file. Next erase "prolog.eqe", since it takes up space and is no
longer needed.
If you have a floppy based system, it is best to transfer afew
files at a time and unsqueeze them. The "usq" program
accepts wild card commands, which means that you can say "usq
b:*.pqo", or "usq *.eqe". If you have a hard disk based
system, you have another option. Simply copy the entire contents
of one of the directories of the distribution disk into an empty
directory on your hard disk. In fact, you can copy everything
from the distribution disk into a directory and give the command:
"B>usq *.* (carriage return)".
To completely understand the options of the usq program, note
that running it without any command line arguments produces a
table of options. The command is: "usq (carriage return)"
Finally, if you have a problem, don't stare at it in morose
frustration. Give me a call!
