VLP is an abbreviation of Virtual Loglan Processor.

What is Loglan?
---------------

Loglan (Loglan-82) is a programming Language designed and realized in Institute
of Computer Science in University of Warsaw. It is universal language, whose
fundamental characteristic is rich modular structure. Main concepts of language
are classes and modules prefixing. These were introduced in Simula-67, and
had a signifant effect on programming metodology and understanding of modern
language modules concept. This influence is visible in many programming
languages such as: Modula, Smalltalk or (to a certain degree) Ada. Module
prefixing in Loglan is more general mechanism than it was in Simula-67. It
allows reaching many different goals, whose practital importance is enormous

What is a difference between official project and this one?
-----------------------------------------------------------

This is a fork Qt3 based VLP. Last entry of original code is dated: 15 Jan 1998.
Qt3 was released on: 16 October 2001, so precise date is not known by me.

Fork contains VLP, Loglan compilator and interpreter. It is carried
independently by me (Rafał Długołęcki).

Main targets of this fork are:
1.  Document everything
2.  Rewrite compilator to use grammar file, which will be parsed by e.g. Bison
3.  Separate layout code from the logic
