If you are only interested in the side-effects of a
predicate you can execute it with the PrologQueryCutFail
function call, which will find the first solution of the Prolog
goal provided, cut away the rest of the solutions, and
finally fail. This will reclaim the storage used by the call.
Example: this is how a Prolog file can be loaded into the Visual Basic program:
ret = PrologQueryCutFail("load_files(myfile)")
This code will return 1 if myfile
was loaded successfully,
and -1 otherwise (this may indicate, for example, the
existence_error
exception if the file does not exist).
