That what?... What "property"?...

I don't think that SICStus and ECLIPSE interface is "for experts
only'. Actually, both are pretty simple.


With this library and SWI's ability to prevent infinite
terms you get a clean language for introductory courses!


Agree. But actually, very little more.

The whole thread was NOT about criticizing anybody. Thw whole thread
was pretty technical: what is required to have commercial grade
CLP(FD) system in Prolog. Nobody was criticizing SWI and Marcus.

I would suggest to concentrate on technical issyes ratther than "who
did what and who did't what"
