As far as I know, WinProlog is still maintained and further developed and it supports multifile/1... Previous Logtalk versions only supported an old LPA WinProlog version (4.0). The config file for this version can still be found on the "configs/unsupported" folder in the current Logtalk distribution. But the trouble in supporting this Prolog implementation is the lack of ISO Prolog exception handling mechanism and the lack of some ISO Prolog built-in predicates. For example: atom_codes/2, atom_concat/3, catch/3, close/1, nl/1, number_codes/2, once/1, open/3-4, read_term/3, throw/1, write_canonical/2, and write_term/3. There are probably others. You can provide quick and dirty hacks for most of these predicates but they are just that: hacks. Not something that you should rely on to write reliable and portable code. You can find some more details why this and some other Prolog compilers are no longer supported here: http://blog.logtalk.org/2010/02/17/spring-cleaning-coming/ If and when LPA decide to provide better compliance with the ISO Prolog Core standard, I will be happy to revise my decision.

Hi, I just realized that you have removed support for LPA's WinProlog. Is there any particular reason for this decision? As far as I know, WinProlog is still maintained and further developed and it supports multifile/1...

Logtalk 2.40.0 is now available for downloading: http://logtalk.org/ Logtalk is an object-oriented logic programming language that can use most Prolog implementations as a back-end compiler. As a multi-paradigm language, it includes support for both prototypes and classes, protocols (interfaces), component-based programming through category-based composition, event-driven programming, and high-level multi-threading programming. This release implements a call//1 built-in non-terminal, changes the scope of the built-in methods phrase/2-3 for more consistent meta-predicate semantics, clarifies the scope of the term-expansion and goal-expansion mechanisms, fixes all known bugs, adds experimental on-line help support, adds man pages for all POSIX shell scripts, bundles Victor Lagerkvist's Verdi Neruda (a meta-interpreter collection that includes both top-down and bottom-up search strategies), and includes portability updates for Ciao Prolog, ECLiPSe, Qu-Prolog, SWI-Prolog, XSB, and YAP.

Prolog bridge playing program (e.g. FINESSE)
by john 25 Jul '10

25 Jul '10

Hello I have been trying to obtain the Prolog source code for FINESSE (a bridge playing program by Stephen Franks which was formerly available from Edinburgh university. Unfortunately all the material relating to this was lost in a fire. Do any of you in this list know where I might find it, or how to contact Stephen Franks. Google located him in Japan at Future University (Hokkaido) but his website there is partly broken and he has not responded to any email probes. Alternatively, do you know of any work done in the area of bridge-playing software. I would like to develop bridge playing software for my own pleasure (not for commercial exploitation). On another topic entirely, I will be travelling around Spain in a camper van in September - October and would love to meet up with Ciao people when we come to Madrid. If anyone is interested email me with contact details. regards John O'Gorman ============================================================================== Message: Address: Action: help majordomo(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Info. on useful commands subscribe ciao-users-request(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Subscribe to this list unsubscribe ciao-users-request(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Unsubscribe from this list <whatever> ciao-users(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Send message to list ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archived messages: http://www.clip.dia.fi.upm.es/Mail/ciao-users/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

how to get ciaopp
by Gianluca Amato 25 Jul '10

25 Jul '10

Hello, I would be interested to try out CiaoPP. In particular, I would like to implement a couple of abstract domains [1] within its framework. I have the sources of an old version of the pre-processor (2005) which I am not able to use, because it does not compile with newer versions of Ciao (and older versions of Ciao do not compile with my GCC). Is it possible to get a newver version of CiaoPP which works with CiaoDE 1.13 ? Thanks, --gianluca amato [1] G. Amato, F. Scozzari. On the interaction between sharing and linearity.

Re: trouble compilation

Hi David, Could you provide us a reduced version of 'sol6.pl' to reproduce the problem? (if that would be possible). E.g.: % sol6.pl? :- module(sol6, [main/1], []). main(_). Does it happen to you with: 'ciaoc -s sol6' or simply 'ciaoc sol6'? And last, what version of Ciao are you using?
