README for PROM, version 1.1 13 Oct 93 ====================================================================== This directory contains PROM, version 1.1, a make tool fully implemented in PROLOG. This make tool offers new degrees of flexibility allowing maintenance of large software systems. Please see: Thilo Kielmann. "Using Prolog for Software System Maintenance". In Proceedings of the First International Conference on the Practical Application of Prolog, volume 1, London, UK, April 1992. Thilo Kielmann. "prom: A flexible, Prolog-based make tool". Tech. Report TI-4/91, Inst. of Theoretical Computer Science, Technical University Darmstadt, Germany. This technical report is also available from this server. It is located in the tech report hierarchy; currently in /pub/docs/tech-reports/fb20/iti/sp/THD-SP-1991-04.ps.Z PROM is designed as a stand-alone tool with a command line interface. PROM is based on SWI-Prolog, but might be ported to other Prolog systems, too. Version 1.1 of PROM is based on version 1.5.9 of SWI-Prolog resulting in an easier installation. PROM is available under terms similar to the ones of the GNU public license. (See the file LICENSE in the archive.) The distribution as of 13 Oct 93 has the documentation added in PostScript format.
