[Attempto] Installation of local version of ACE view

[Eddy Vanderlinden]

Hello Kaarel,

You are right, it is the verbalisation OWL --> ACE which i found slow.

I'm unfortunately a user of Microsoft Vista and therefor, the conversion is 
not producing the exe file.

I followed the instruction:

On Windows, execute (untested):

plcon -O -f owl_to_ace.pl -g "qsave_program('owl_to_ace.exe', 
[goal(owl_to_ace), toplevel(halt), local(25600), global(25600)])." -t halt
As a result, an EXE-file (the command-line client) is created.

Sorry to bother you with this.

Kind regards

Eddy
