Turbo Prolog 1.0 dates back 7 years and represents the very first incarnation
of a compiler that has been well refined over the years. The Prolog
Development Center now markets Turbo Prolog's offspring as PDC Prolog and
we are now up to version 3.3, which works just fine with Borland's C++.
Furthermore, additional datatypes are now implemented in PDC Prolog to
support interfacing with C(++) structures and signed/unsigned  byte, word,
dword and double numerical values, even functions are now supported. The next
incarnation will include internal "name mangling" so direct calls can be made
to any C++ object/message. The whole compiler has been evolving and it is
rather unfair to judge a current product by what it was in its first
incarnation almost a decade ago.

I've been using Turbo/PDC Prolog since version 1.0 and have implemented
uncountable programs privately and commercially. I use it daily and would
willingly swear by it agains any other tools I've ever worked with. That's
not to say that I don't use other implementations or languages when the need
arises, but I'm more than please by PDC's compiler and the support they
provide for their clients.
