[AccessD] OT: Prolog (was: duh)

I guess we all have a dark side. Prolog (and LISP which I haven't
worked with) are very strange compared to VB and all the if-then-else
constructs. But if you catch it, it is very powerful and it is more
fun. Recently, I clean up the bookshelf and most of it was given away
but the PDC Prolog (also sold under the Borland name as John mentions)
and a couple of other Prolog books remained.
Later PDC released Visual Prolog and I have followed it since -
without coding a single line. Perhaps some day we will meet again?
