Setting Up the interface

The Visual Basic - Quintus Prolog interface consists of the following files:

• vbqp.dll (The Prolog code and Quintus runtime)
• vbqp.bas (The Visual Basic code)

In order to use the interface, perform the following steps:

• Include the file vbqp.bas in your Visual Basic project.
• Put vbqp.dll in a place where DLLs are searched for (for example the same directory as your applications EXE file or the Windows-System directory). Alternatively put it in quintus-dir\bin\ix86\ and ensure that quintus-dir\bin\ix86\ is in the PATH environment variable.
• Make the Quintus runtime DLL etc. available. Typically by running qpvars.bat or by putting quintus-dir\bin\ix86\ in the PATH environment variable.
