Has anyone out there got their hands on ProWindows. This probably
isn't the right news group for any discussion on it, but I'm new
to sending news around the globe - so no flames ;-)

ProWindows is a window/graphics package that interfaces Quintus Prolog
to a Sun workstation's wimp environment in a better way than through
the foreign function channel. It gives the average Prolog programmer,
whose generally not interested in C, an object orientated graphics extension
that's easy(ish) to use. It was born out of an ESPRIT project, but now
Quintus and ICL hold the copyright.

So, why am I posting this?

Has anyone out there been using it at all?
What bugs have you found?
Etc

I have the 1.0Beta version on trial, and its impressive. However,
I have discovered this liiittle bug with "text_block" ... :-}
