Prolog Develpment Center (PDC), the developers of Visual Prolog 
have just announced availability of their full Professional product as 
freeware for home and educational use.  This fulfills their promise 
announced at Warpstock 98.   The product is a fully functional 
Prolog compiler which cross compiles GUI and text-mode programs 
for OS/2 and all flavors of Windows.  Also included are SCO Unix and 
Linux compilers which work for the text-mode programs.  Imagine 
writing a GUI program under OS/2 and compiling it for Windows 
without any changes!   I do this all the time; you have to try it to 
experience how cool it really is!  You can even compile the Win32 stuff 
under the OS/2 development environment, and run it on a nearby Windows 
machine!

The freeware product is for now being delivered on CD for a $30 media and 
handling charge (shipping is included, not extra).  They will be 
posting the product on their Web site shortly, but it is 200+ Megs, so 
the disk is well worth it.

Any programs you develop while learning will remain fully functional 
when you choose to purchase the commercial licence.  The only 
functional difference will be that the freeware version puts a freeware 
notice in your executable, so we all remain honest about selling 
products before paying for the commercial developer's licence.
