| GT Prolog - QL |
Attempting to write a review of GT-Prolog (GTP) has proved to be rather more difficult than anticipated. There is, first of all, the necessity for familiarization with a new language.

| QL Public Domain Software |
One thing lacking in IQLR at the moment is news about QL PD Software especially what is offered on the Communications Super Highway. As I have access to both Fidonet and Internet I thought that some examples would be in order. |

There has been a lot said and written about QPAC 2. The designer of this program (Mr. Tony Tebby) made it flexible and adaptable to most all situations. In so doing, many have trouble getting started using this program. It is not one of those pieces of software that we buy, put it in the |
