Oh, thank you very much. I could never think of the " X\=Y ". I have
appreciated this. Prolog's variable binding concept makes my head
spinned. <where am I?>

BTW, how did you learn Prolog? Could you recommend me some sources?
Master, enlighten me... :-D

Prolog inhabits a strange country...
In fact, I learned the basics of the language using Clocksin,Mellish book
(Programming in Prolog, if i remember well)
almost 15 years ago, writing my first C++ program, a simple Prolog
interpreter.
I like the essentiality and simplicity of the language, but I admit it's
sometime very hard to accomplish tasks that other
less esotheric languages could attack, maybe using more code.
So i never convinced my collegues to switch from VB... :(
Currently practical Prolog has evolved toward CLP, and I think you should
approach learning this subject.
Start from swi-prolog, a friendly and feature rich environment you will find
at www.swi-prolog.org

Bye Carlo
