(description
- "GNU Prolog is a free Prolog compiler with constraint solving over
-finite domains developed by Daniel Diaz.
-
-GNU Prolog accepts Prolog+constraint programs and produces native
-binaries (like gcc does from a C source). The obtained executable is
-then stand-alone. The size of this executable can be quite small since
-GNU Prolog can avoid to link the code of most unused built-in
-predicates. The performances of GNU Prolog are very
-encouraging (comparable to commercial systems).
-
-Beside the native-code compilation, GNU Prolog offers a classical
-interactive interpreter (top-level) with a debugger.
-
-The Prolog part conforms to the ISO standard for Prolog with many
-extensions very useful in practice (e.g., global variables, OS
-interface, sockets).
-
-GNU Prolog also includes an efficient constraint solver over finite domains.
-This opens contraint logic programming to the user combining the power of
-constraint programming to the declarativity of logic programming.")
