Arity/Prolog
Appearance
Description
A Prolog development system initially supplied in 1984 for DOS with a version for 16 bit OS/2 following a few years after. A few years back Peter Gabel who was one of the original authors of the package announced that the sources to the Windows version would be made available as open source, but that did not happen.
- 2 to 5 times faster than the 16 bit version.
- Code is no longer compiled through the database.
- No limit on the number of atoms in an application.
- New PM debugger for PM-based applications. New ALINT utility to check declarations, style and typo.
- Nulti-threaded, multi-processing support.
- IBM C Set/2 is recommended, although not compulsory.
- Development environment is text based.
- Provides binding to SOM (limited support).
- No standard PM predicates (eg dialogue box) built-in.
- Requires about 2MB of disk space.
Currently Arity only sells it as a package: Arity/Prolog32 Premier Release Program.
