When I execute a standalone program created by Turbo Prolog, it sets the colors back. Yeesh! -- Tom Frauenhofer ...!seismo!rochester!ur-tut!tfra

I had the same problem using an HP VECTRA (IBM compat. DOS 3.1). It turned out (after some investigation) that the machine was fine, TURBO had just left the display in a funny state. My solution was simply to type: cls (clear screen DOS command). This has fixed it for me. Anyone else?? BORLAND listening?? hplabs!hp-pcd!hpmcla!bills

I've had no such problems under DOS 3.1. With DOS 2.1, I have occasionally
had to type CLS (blind) after exiting Prolog; I assumed that this
was due to stray color settings. (I use Compaq's and Leading Edges,
both of which can do odd things with mono monitors and color-wise software.)
Overall, Turbo Prolog looks really neat (especially to someone like myself
who hasn't done anything in this area since a load of POP-2 some 14 years
ago). I'll look forward to the informed criticisms from the Prolog
cognoscenti...
