Origin and history of query operator (?-)
Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2005 13:07:24 -0600
What is the origin and history of "?-", the Prolog prompt and operator?
Is the "-" intended to be an indication of resolution refutation?
Sometimes a rose is just a rose and a prompt is just a prompt, but I'd
like to be certain and have found little concerning the history of this
operator.
