Hi,

Binaries for version 4.8.1. of XPCE based on SWI-Prolog 1.9.0 is now
available from swi.psy.uva.nl:/pub/xpce/linux/...

XPCE/SWI-Prolog is an implementation of a complete Edinburgh Prolog
(SWI-Prolog), extended with an object-oriented User Interface Package
(XPCE).  It offers a very high level access for making X11 applications.
Applications are source-code compatible accross many Unix platforms and
also to MS-Windows 3.1 (beta version).

There are many demo applications, a hypertext help-system, etc.

This programming environment is normally distributed as a academic
(licenced) product.  AIIL (UK) distributes a commercially supported
version based on Quintus Prolog.

XPCE/SWI-Prolog for PC/Linux is free, both as support for the Linux
project and to provide a demo/evaluation version of the system.  It
should run on all recent Linux systems with at least 8MB memory and
XFree 2.x installed.

Summary of changes since 4.7.2: much better support for colour displays,
3-D look-and-feel support, much faster and cheaper (in terms of memory
usage) text manipulation, better redraw planning improves graphical
performance a lot when multiple changes take place, display of the
16-bit X11 fonts, better X11 resource interface, many improvements to
PceEmacs (the integrated editor), hyper-text help system for
applications added and of course the necessary bugfixes.

	Directory:	/pub/xpce/linux
	Files:		xpcebin.tgz, xpcelib.tgz, INSTALL, README
	Libs:		librl-2.03.tgz

The latter is the GNU readline 2.0.3 library, which is not part of
(at least) the Slackware distribution.
