This is your personal opinion that I don't share. Although it would be
nice to have typed Prolog, Mercury is not ready for commercial
applications, and Visual Prolog is rather a toy than real Prolog.

There is no question that there are people using Prolog for real
applications. I will include Mercury in the discussion because it is a
Prolog, notwithstanding the weird name. Anyway, consider the programs
of the following software vendor:

Hello group,
just studding the xpce documentation.
I wonder whats the difference betwee Meta and Super in the

Thanks for any Hints.

Is PROLOG dead ??

Folks,
I am new to Prolog. I would like to know if the language is
used for any practical programming or just for theory. What is the
scope for the language ? Is object oriented PROLOG standardised ? Just
would like your thoughts and insight.
Thanks

by Marc Eisenstadt, Mike Bradyshaw and Jocelyn Paine,
I think there is software for it as well.

Hi, Jan.
Thank you for answering my question. I also tried the program by
calling the plwin.exe interpreter. It works. It also works the way you
told me (clicking on the source file). However, I need to generate a
stand along exec file for my French classes. In order to generate the
exec file, it seems that one must use the qsave_program predicate, as

Do you have any idea what does a call like prolog:'$select' transfer
