LPA WinProlog

Appeared in Volume 9/4, November 1996

LPA Prolog for Windows is designed for 32-bit PCs running Windows 95, NT, or 3.11/3.1. Some features:

• Interactive Development Environment. Conforms to the standard 'MDI' specification, and supports multiple program edit windows.

• Source Code Debugger. Can inspect variable bindings, and monitor ports. A traditional box model debugger is also included, along with a collection of special purpose debuggers, and the provision to supply your own.

• Access to the GUI functions of Windows in a high-level manner.

• DLL Interface. Allows Prolog to call, or be called by, programs written in C, Pascal, etc. Synchronous and asynchronous message passing is supported.

• DDE Interface. Supports direct communication between WinProlog and Visual Basic, Microsoft Word, Excel, and most other DDE-aware applications.

• DOS Command and File Management.

• Incremental/Optimising Compilation.

• Efficient Run-time System. Supports tail recursion and last-call optimisation.

• Configurable Memory Management. WinProlog needs a minimum of 4MB. Up to nine main memory areas can be configured.

• Platform Compatibility. WinProlog uses the same underlying engine as LPA DOS-Prolog and MacProlog32. Also compatible with Quintus Prolog.
