   53This module defines  predicates  from   `traditional  Edinburgh  Prolog'
   54(Dec10 and C-Prolog) whose functionality  has   been  replaced  by (ISO)
   55Standard Prolog.

   93%   Load source file(s), wiping the  old content first. SWI-Prolog's
   94%   consult/1 and related predicates always do this.

  116%   =true=, causing file operations to   raise an exception. Setting
  117%   it to =false=  activates  the  old   Edinburgh  mode  of  silent
  118%   failure.
