Presumably PDC have rewritten the manuals completely. I found the Turbo 2.something manuals incomplete and confusing. in particular, what i found most confusing was the fact that the bold print warning was missing. it should have read: THIS PRODUCT IS NOT AN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE PROLOG. i spent several hours trying to divine how the implementors expected one to write prolog programs before i realized that they explicitly didn't want me to be writing in prolog. anybody who thinks otherwise should post an viable implementation of setof/3 in turbo (pdc) prolog.
