O'Keefe) Newsgroups: comp.lang.prolog Subject: Turbo Prolog 2.0 tip Message-ID: <4097@goanna.cs.rmit.oz.au> Date: 26 Oct 90 09:17:04 GMT Organization: Comp Sci, RMIT, Melbourne, Australia Lines: 13 This may save someone else the half hour of frustrated head-scratching it caused me: if you have readterm(, ) in your Turbo Prolog 2.0 program, and at run-time it complains about an unrecognised functor, the problem _may_ really be a blank line. Why won't Turbo Prolog allow layout characters in data terms? Perhaps this is how they get the "huge increase in speed" they boast of? (Actually, I _don't_ get any huge increase in speed compared with ALS...) -- Fear most of all to be in error. -- Kierkegaard, quoting Socrates.
