Turbo Prolog 2.0

Turbo Prolog 2.0 is a programming environment built around Prolog, a language particularly associated with artificial intelligence, symbolic reasoning, and rule-based problem solving. Unlike conventional procedural languages, Prolog encourages programmers to describe facts, relationships, and logical rules, then let the system search for solutions. That makes it fascinating to explore, although newcomers may initially wonder why the computer refuses to behave like a normal programming language. Turbo Prolog brought this unusual style of programming to DOS users in a relatively accessible package, providing an environment for experimentation and serious development alike. It belongs to a period when personal computers were increasingly being used to explore ideas that had previously been confined to universities and research laboratories. Today, the interface looks distinctly old-fashioned, but the underlying concepts remain relevant. It is a fascinating reminder that 'artificial intelligence' was already an active computing topic decades before anyone started putting it into chatbots.
