This is an example of an interface with a constraint solver. The directory

+to make it work with Mercury (these changes are documented in the file
./clpr/README.Mercury). CLP(R) is copyright by IBM (International Business
Machines Corporation); see ./clpr/README for more information,
particularly the RESEARCH SOFTWARE DISCLAIMER and the USER AGREEMENT.
+CLP(R) solves constraints on real (floating point) numbers,
+and in particular systems of simultaneous linear equations and inequations.
+There is also support for non-linear constraints, although the solver is
+not complete for such constraints; solving of non-linear constraints is
+simply delayed until enough variables are bound to make them linear.
+
The files cfloat.m, cfloat_float.m, float_cfloat.m, and dump.m in
this directory provide the Mercury interface to the CLP(R) constraint solver.
The files in the `samples' directory are a few example programs that use
this interface.
+
+This has been tested on the following systems:
+ sparc-sun-solaris2.5
+ dec-alpha-osf3.2
+ i586-pc-linux-gnu
