Important Changes (since last posting): Eclipse now free for
universities, and has a web page.

Contributions and corrections should be sent to Michael Jampel

This is a list of Frequently Asked Questions (and answers) for the area
of constraints, including books, journal articles, ftp archives, and
systems & products. It is posted once a month to the newsgroups
comp.constraints, comp.answers, and news.answers.

NOTE: the WWW page associated with this FAQ now contains far more
information than the FAQ does, including meta-information, i.e. pointers
to other WWW pages and ftp sites. I strongly suggest you have a look at it:

Thanks to Mark Kantrowitz for allowing me to use large parts of his
FAQs and Resource Guides for comp.lang.prolog and comp.ai.
