Description:	wamcc is a Prolog Compiler which translates Prolog to C via the WAM. wamcc has a syntax very close to the future ansi standard. wamcc offers the most usual built-in predicates, a top-level, a Prolog debugger and a WAM debugger. wamcc is designed to be easily extended (e.g. see clp(FD)). From an efficiency point of view, wamcc is between SICStus "emulated" and SICStus "native code" on Sparc machines (1.5 times faster than SICStus emulated, 1.5 times slower than SICStus "native code").
