Structure of the Quintus Directory under UNIX

bin3.5

Contains one subdirectory for each platform (and operating system) on which Quintus Prolog has been installed. For example, sun4-5 contains the executables installed for a Sun4 running SunOS 5.x. When the manual refers to runtime-directory, it is the subdirectories of bin3.5, such as sun4-5, that are referred to. The runtime-directory for your platform is the default runtime_directory Prolog flag. These directories are generated automatically for each platform during the installation procedure.
