Re: [Xsb-development] iprolog is broken, interprolog is not

[Terrance S. <ts...@cs...>]

The original idea for making the package was to include the features that
were needed at one time for a Linux port.  This was needed by the LMC/XMC
project and for some stuff XSB, Inc was using at Darpa.  In addition, at
the time Miguel had more pressing priorities than updating the declarativa
iprolog (as I recall) so there was, at that time, a wait for a new
Declarativa iprolog version.

In any case, the latest version if declarativa iprolog supports Linux, and
I agree that the iprolog package did not live up to my hopes for
it and it should be removed.  What would be ideal though, would be for
there to be an anonymous CVS site at declarativa or elsewhere so that bug
fixes or improvements could be made by qualified people (e.g. XSB Incs
Tanya or Harpreet, or perhaps one or two others).
