I sorta solved the problem by probing the archive I got the prolog from, as
with most of these problems: the answer was in the manual.

I thought I cancelled the article in time, but unfortunately, you can't depend
on InterNet slowness like you used too :-).

Yep, the whole thing is copylefted, so the source is freely available, it's
pretty big though, the compressed archive adds up to about 900 Kb, and 
besides, re-compiling things is not my idea of a fun time (things always turn
up, I get really agrivated when I try something like that).

I did, sorry 'bout that.

What's Archie? I usualy perform Human-Directory-Tree-Traversal to find what 
I need.

I'd still like that, an all purpose emulator would probably come in very
handy one day.
