+    longDescription = ''
+      GNU Prolog is a free Prolog compiler with constraint solving
+      over finite domains developed by Daniel Diaz.
+
+      GNU Prolog accepts Prolog+constraint programs and produces
+      native binaries (like gcc does from a C source).  The obtained
+      executable is then stand-alone.  The size of this executable can
+      be quite small since GNU Prolog can avoid to link the code of
+      most unused built-in predicates.  The performances of GNU Prolog
+      are very encouraging (comparable to commercial systems).
+
+      Beside the native-code compilation, GNU Prolog offers a
+      classical interactive interpreter (top-level) with a debugger.
+
+      The Prolog part conforms to the ISO standard for Prolog with
+      many extensions very useful in practice (global variables, OS
+      interface, sockets,...).
+
+      GNU Prolog also includes an efficient constraint solver over
+      Finite Domains (FD).  This opens contraint logic programming to
+      the user combining the power of constraint programming to the
+      declarativity of logic programming.
