If people ask how to write something basic in Prolog, it certainly does not help
saying: use the library, we allready solved that for you.

I am sick of supposed-to-be Prolog text-books refering to library predicates, which you
need to consult to be able to read the books.

I hate pure advertising on the net : 'Mine does', 'Quintus users, of course'.,
certainly if intermixed with decent comments, a typical advertiser trick.
