Windows Notes (SICStus Prolog Release Notes)

The file name arguments to splfr and spld should not have embedded spaces. For file names with spaces, you can use the corresponding short file name.
In spwin, selecting the ‘Manual’ or ‘Release Notes’ item in the ‘Help’ menu may give an error message similar to ‘… \!Help\100#!Manual.lnk could not be found’. This happens when Adobe Acrobat Reader is not installed or if it has not been installed for the current user. Open C:\Program Files\SICStus Prolog VC16 4.8.0\doc\pdf\ in the explorer and try opening relnotes.pdf. If this brings up a configuration dialog for Adobe Acrobat, then configure Acrobat and try the ‘Help’ menu again. Alternatively, you may have to obtain Adobe Acrobat. It is available for free from https://www.adobe.com/.
We recommend that SICStus be installed by a user with administrative privileges and that the installation is made ‘For All Users’.
If SICStus is installed for a single user, then SICStus will not find the license information when started by another user. In this case, the windowed version of SICStus (spwin) will put up a dialog where a license can be entered.
