Firstly, it was not an intention of mine to post this message twice, but my
ISP has been having trouble with their nntp servers. I apologize.

Secondly, the postings I made to this newsgroup, which involved specific
code and questions on my part at least a year ago, are being quoted on all
the major search engines. And I wanted to show that I understand the
language just slightly better now than I did then. Even though, as I started
out saying each time, I'm really a total novice at Prolog.

Thirdly, it occurs to me that there could be other beginners in Prolog who
have not found a suitable summary of what the difference between just Prolog
is, and Prolog with CLP, and who might find my own description helpful. My
book on Prolog, "PROLOG Programming For Artificial Intelligence," which I do
think is a good book, explains this difference in detail and with examples,
but not quite in the same way.
