when referencing turbo `prolog' (by any name), quotes should be put
around the word prolog to indicate that you know that it isn't really
prolog.  

turbo `prolog' does allow for embedding, it just doesn't allow one to
embed calls to prolog in c.

Well, Ted, out here in the real world _REAL_ Prolog isn't much use to
anyone.  Indeed, if I were required to use a "pure" language, I simply
would not bother with prolog at all: Scheme _IS_ a far superior language.

By the way, is there some sort of "Academie Francais" of CS lingo out 
there?  Mebbe someone in a university should set one up so as we can
all ignore it.  The fact remains that PDCProlog provides much of the
functionality of "pure" Prolog and possesess the features like
timers, static typing and execution speed (*10 faster than "pure"
prolog) needed for real-time applications.
