Error in GNU-prolog manual and examples for Windows

[ATrubitsyn]

Hello!

System: WindowsXP SP2, intel 915DW chipset, Intel Celeron 2,5GHz

GNU prolog 1.3.0
GNU Prolog Win32 auto-install setup
[http://www.gprolog.org/setup-gprolog-1.3.0-mingw.exe]


1. In the chapter 3.2.1 "3.2.1  Starting/exiting the interactive
interpreter" of the buil-in help system of gprolog interpreter
Example with using gprolog did not work because of gprolog under windows
requers two "--" instead of one "-" and double " instead single '.


Existense text is:
Here is an example of using execution goal options: 
% gprolog -init-goal 'write(before), nl' -entry-goal 'write(inside), nl'
-query-goal 'append([a,b],[c,d],X)'

For Windows systems it mast be like this:
Here is an example of using execution goal options: 
gprolog --init-goal "write(before), nl" --entry-goal "write(inside), nl"
--query-goal "append([a,b],[c,d],X)"


2. In the directory ExamplesPL from GNU prolog 1.3.0 for Windows there are
NO ANY SUBDIRECTORY and following text from \ExamplesPL\readme may be not
refferred to Windows:
"
Each sub-directorie (YAP, WAMCC, SICSTUS, CIAO, BINPROLOG, XSB, SWI)
contains
3 files:

        MAKE_PROGS: a shell-script building the benchmarks
        MAKE_CLEAN: a shell-script removing build benchmarks
        HOOK.pl: the hook file needed for the corresponding system

To compile the benchmarks with a given system use MAKE_PROGS in the
associated directory (e.g. YAP):

        cd YAP
        MAKE_PROGS   (or MAKE_PROGS BENCH_NAME...)

MAKE_PROGS build the list of benchmarks passed as argument. In none, it
builds all benchmarks described in the file ../PROGS.  Be sure to be in the
sub-directory (cd) before doing MAKE_PROGS."


The first-time users of GNU Prolog & MinGW under Windows can not understand
from this readme how to compile examples, with what program they can use
makefile and so on.
