I've written a Parser in prolog [seemed the EASY way to do it!]
and I would like to put in code gnerateing.  The problem I'm
having is ERROR generation and backtracking.  I'm confused a bit.

1:  has anyone successfully used prolog this way?  IE languuage
prototyping

2:  What is a GOOD set of rules to go about this process?

Thanks reply here or in mail!  I'm sure this won't be of intrest
to a lot of poeple.  :)

Take a look at David H. D. Warren's 1980 paper on implementing compilers
in Prolog (Logic Programming and Compiler Writing, _Software-Practice and
Experience_ 10, Number II).  You may also want to read Chapter 23 in
Sterling and Shapiro's _The Art of Prolog_ (MIT Press, 1986).
