ISO Standard Prolog Compatibility Package

This library provides some degree of compatibility with the definition of Standard Prolog as defined in ISO/IEC 13211-1 (Information Technology, Programming Languages, Prolog, Part 1: General Core, 1995). The areas where the library is not yet complete are mainly I/O and directives. However it should be sufficient for many applications. The library is provided in source form.

The compatibility package is loaded by issuing the directive

:- use_module(library(iso)).
The effect of the compatibility library is local to the module where it is loaded, ie. the directive must be given in every module that wants to use the compatibility mode. Other modules are unaffected, which means that code written in different language variants can be mixed as long as it is organised into different modules.
