... Prolog: Quintus is a trademark of Quintus Computer Systems Inc., USA
... BIM_Prolog: BIM is a trademark of BIM sa/nv., Belgium
...: On the Atari-ST, pl.ttp can be installed anywhere. The resource folder pl should be below the root directory of a disk and is searched for in the order cde...ab (e.i. hard disk first, followed by floppy)
....plrc': Atari-ST: `pl.rc' as files cannot be named `.plrc'
...: One could choose words, defining words as a sequence of alpha-numeric characters and the word separators as anything else, but one could also choose Prolog arguments
...: This implies the system can run out of local stack in debug mode, while no problems arise when running in non-debug mode.
... please/3: The idea comes from BIM_Prolog. The options supported by this predicate are not compatible with those for BIM_Prolog however.
... implementation: This implementation is based on GNU's unexec() function, creating a new executable from the running process. It is selected using the O_STORE_PROGRAM option in the machine-description file.
... implementation: This implementation is selected by the O_SAVE option in the machine-description file.
...: These are NOT the defaults compiled into an intermediate code file created with pl -c ...
...: I plan to raise all these limits to 65536, the maximum addressable range by the 16 bits virtual machine codes.
