Description
A strongly typed Prolog compiler originally sold by Borland as Turbo Prolog, renamed PDC Prolog after the original developer took over the distribution of the compiler and later renamed again as Visual Prolog. Versions 5x could notably cross compile to DOS, OS/2 and MS Windows 16 bit targets in addition to 32 bit OS/2 and MS Windows GUI and text mode targets with full source compatibility.
Versions 5.1 and 5.2 also featured the ability to compile Linux and SCO Unix text mode applications but support for that was dropped in version 6 alongside the support for DOS, 16 bit Windows and OS/2. Also note that the documentation and examples that were shipped with the last version of VP 5.2 are older than the compiler, the examples would not compile and the syntax of the language had changed enough to make even the basic pieces shown in the manual stop working.
