Abstract

TURBO PROLOG is a large subset of standard PROLOG, a principal artificial-intelligence language. It is not easy for those with a background in a procedural language to learn a declarative language. The manual has important omissions and fails to explain error messages. Version 1.1 of the program still has bugs. With problems corrected, it would be a good all-purpose language.
