LSAPI Introduction

Libraries

The Logic Server API is available for Windows programmers as amzi.dll. It has an associated amzi.lib that is used for linking.

The Logic Server API is available for Unix programmers as libamzi.so.

Getting Started

As Kernighan and Ritchie pointed out in their classic book on C programming, the hardest part is compiling, linking and running your first simple application. In the case of the Logic Server, the problem is doubled, as you must get both a host language piece and Prolog piece built and talking to each other.

Each of the reference sections has an introductory 'Hello' program that shows you how to get started.
