I have just started to play with Turbo Prolog, and while it may
be a limited Prolog it provided a interesting window system for
strict PC compatibles.  For people interested in human interfaces,
and PC's it is (it seems to me) useful.

As a consequence of the packages emphasis on using the PC efficiently,
I think a generic MSDOS version, while not impossible, would be 
*very* hard because the (screen) I/O  is optimized for the IBM PC.

From my perspective, it seems that it is more of a user interface
breadboarding system than a language compiler;  which will be my
use.

Rich.
