==== Description: ====
Plang is an experimental logic programming language, using the execution core
of a Prolog-style horn clause system, but with a completely different C-style
syntax on top.

The aim is to explore alternatives to traditional logic programming that can
help make it more attractive for practical (as opposed to academic)
programming needs.

An interesting feature is the in-built support for the Princeton WordNet
database that provides noun/verb/etc information about English for natural
language processing tasks.

==== Other Comments: ====
The tar.gz attached is just the source, for review.  I would like a git repo
on savannah.nongnu.org to host the project and its website and can push up my
local repo contents once the server has been initialized.

The Copyright's on the source files are Southern Storm Software, Pty Ltd,
which is a company I wholy own and operate (i.e. essentially "Copyright:
Me").

I have previously worked with Savannah on the DotGNU Portable.NET project.  I
am not proposing Plang as part of GNU - at least not yet.
