From article <20609@srcsip.UUCP>, by hadden@ella.SRC.Honeywell.COM (George D. Hadden):
> a piece of information: the prolog on simtel (version 1.90n) is
> broken.  here is one manifestation: if you define append as follows:

	Don't use pd-prolog.  it's crap!  here are some major bugs we've 
found:
	(a) underline variables are broken.
	(b) don't name a file the same as any rule or fact (just how long
do you think it took us to track down THAT little annoyance?)

	The worst is that we bought the $200 version and it has the same 
bugs!  Sigh....  Spend your money on Turbo-Prolog instead of wasting your
time on sh**ty software that will drive you crazy.  Turbo is FAST, cheap,
and best of all - it WORKS!

	Got an flames?  Send em to /dev/null.
