To perform diagnosis with the example, we need to load both the abductive system and the abductive theory into SICStus. There are three ways to load the abductive system into SICStus:
To start SICStus from command-line and load the abductive system at start, one can execute the following command:
> sicstus -l abduction.pl
If SICStus is already started, the abductive system can be loaded by executing the following query:
| ?- use_module(abduction).
If you are using the GUI version of SICStus on Windows, you can go to ``File'', then ``Consult'', and then select the abduction module source file abduction.pl from the dialogue box.
