Re: saving, restoring prolog state in binary form

Salvador,
Thanks for your response.
Just a small extension to my question in this context.

When we use listing, we are converting the predicates from their "in
memory representation" into a text form. We then compile these text form
predicates and load them back into the same "in memory representation"
next time. (Please correct me if I am missing something.)

If there were a way to dump and restore this "in memory state" itself,
may be the amount of i/o as well as compilation time could be saved (?).
My application has a few tens of thousands of predicates. So these
timings become significant.

TIA
Mayuresh.
