<DIV class="abstract">
<DIV class="abstract-title">Abstract</DIV> SWI-Prolog started life in 
1986 as a Prolog in the Edinburgh tradition. Its development has been 
guided from the very beginning by the desire to build large scale 
applications in Prolog. For this reason it stresses connectivity to the 
C-language, few system limits, comprehensive memory management, modules, 
multi-threading, coroutining, constraints and a fast and interactive 
development environment. Portable libraries for graphics, databases, 
networking, web-services, XML, RDF and many more complete the system.

<P>SWI-Prolog is compliant to part one of ISO standard Prolog. In 
addition it provides functionality compatible to Quintus, SICStus, LPA, 
Ciao and many more.

<P>Since version 5 the system and all bundled extensions are distributed 
under the Lesser General Public License (LGPL) and the system enjoys 
attention from a large community of academic researchers, students and 
commercial users.

<P>This document gives an overview of the features, system limits and 
built-in predicates.
