This area of the ProLog website provides our customers with files that support the operation of the ProLog system. Some file Some files, like the CallMaster Supplement file, require a User ID and password while others are provided as a service to keep your ProLog system up to date with the latest Executable, Prefix, Award and Help update files.

When ProLog-V8 was installed on your computer, a folder named "X:\\ProLog Update Files", was created in the root directory of your volume (Typically 'C') where ProLog-V8 was installed. This folder is used to store the various update files that support the Prolog System. Once the update file(s) have been downloaded to the Update Files folder, the new ProLog Updater Program (PUP) will handle the local transfer and integration of the update file(s).

The downloading and installation process together with file format descriptions is comprehensively covered in the ProLog-V8 Help File. For Users of ProLog-V7 and for the general convenience of all, that section of the Help File has been replicated on this website. Click here to display that information.
