- It appears not possible to load .pl files that are in the root
- directory of a drive. Put your files in subdirectories. Also,
- donot make the working directory the root of a drive.

- It appears pkunzip puts all the files in the same directory. Use
- unzip.

- I got SWI Prolog for Windows (from swi.psy.uva.nl: pub/SWI-Prolog)
- and installed it in Windows for Workgroup 3.11.
-
- According to readme.win, if the base directory is c:\pl,
- it is not necessary to set SWIPL. But, without setting it,
- SWI Prolog does not work properly. E.g. enter help;
- SWI Prolog complains that it cannot find index ...
- So always set SWIPL, such as:
-
- set swipl=/c:/pl
-
- or
-
- set swipl=/d:/lang/swipro
-
- etc.
-
- According to readme.win, the following does 'boot compilation':
-
- pl.exe -e startup/startup.pc -b boot/init.pl -c boot/load.pl
-
- This only works when the base directory is c:\pl. If you install
- it in other directory, it does not work, even though you set SWIPL
- correctly. So do the following, instead:
-
- pl.exe -e /d:/lang/swipro/startup/startup.pc -b /d:/lang/swipro/boot/init.pl
- -c /d:/lang/swipro/boot/load.pl
-
- <jan> -e should be -o
- <jan> I think the original is fine if the working directory is the
- installation directory.
-
- [Of course, in one line ..., or File/Run of Windows Program Manager.]
-
- Be sure to put / (forward slash) in front of the drive name.
-
- ==========================
-
- By the way, SWI Prolog is *COOL*. Good job.
