Hello,

is there an easy way, e.g. a ready-made predicate or module or option
in some Prolog which makes a program use temporary files instead of
RAM, if necessary. What I am dreaming of is the possibility to tell
the programming something like: "If you need more than 10GB of memory,
use the hard disk", without having rewrite my program.

Perhaps you should look for an answer to this in an operating systems newsgroup
because what you want is by no means Prolog specific (or relevant).

BTW, as far as I know, the answer is no.


App-layer kludges of this kind have existed in Windows, I believe.
(Phar-lap?)

They are not so portable;-)
