- I am trying to set a decent size project for my students, who use
- Arity Prolog on IBM-PCs. The trouble is that even the most modest Prolog
- program runs out of stack space more or less immediately. (For example,
- a Turing machine simulator that I got them to write only runs for a hundred
- or so steps before running out of space).
-
- Does anyone have any suggestions that might help? (this might be a DOS
- problem rather than a Prolog program, just knowing that fact might help a
- bit). Will a different Prolog (eg Prolog2) be better?
-
- Cheers
