Operations on ECLiPSe Data

Interfaces to some basic operations on ECLiPSe Data.
int ec_compare(const pword pw1, const pword pw2)

Similar to the compare/3 built-in predicate: returns 0 if the arguments are identical, a negative number if pw1 is smaller than pw2, and a positive number if pw1 is greater than pw2 in the standard term ordering.

int ec_schedule_suspensions(pword,int)

Similar to the schedule_suspensions/2 built-in predicate. Waking will only happen once control is returned to ECLiPSe and the wake/0 predicate is invoked. Return code is PSUCCEED or an error code.
