;				IMPLICATOR
;			(C)opyright Andrew H. Nelson 1989-2000

;	Implicator, in a nutshell, implements about everything that has to
;do with PRODUCTION RULE EXPERT SYSTEM SHELLs.  It also has an Augmented
;Transition Network PARSER and all the functions necessary to define nets
;and parse grammers.

;	It was built in a small subset of Common LISP as just another
;set of Lisp functions.  Why ?  SEAMLESS Integration.  No shells, no
;clutter.  You want graphics, windows, or editors; use yours.  You
;want to port what you build using Implicator to a Lisp machine, PC,
;or a mainframe, using one of the leading Common Lisp interpreters;
;PORT WITH NO CHANGES REQUIRED.

;	Okay.  I admit it.  I was also infatuated with Lisp at the time....


;Add it to your product or LISP ENVIRONMENT.  The ontology.txt and ai.doc files are the only
;documentation you get with Implicator, but their thorough, and the source
;is well documented.

;	Some buzz words that might get your attention and motivate you to go
;through the small, but horrendous HELP FILE and TUTORIAL FILE that's included
;here:
 
;Integrated FORWARD AND BACKWARD CHAINING with the same rules, 
;ABDUCTION, CONDITIONING (generate rules from a given set of facts to produce
;a desired set of facts), AGENDA BASED forward-chaining, ATN, SCHEMAs, 
;DEMONS, OBJECT-ORIENTED, INHERITANCE, UNIFICATION, ALTERNATE WORLDS and VIEW-
;POINTS, NON-MONOTONIC TRUTH MAINTENANCE, SIMPLE, SEAMLESS and COMMON.

;	Now the usual disclaimer.  Don't depend on it for anything. I don't
;guarantee it does anything.  If you use it and take a loss, you have my
;sympathy but you are not entitled to anything else.  I won't, (and can't)
;be legally bound to help you out in any way should something go wrong.
;Also, there might be a small dependency upon XLISP 1.7 built in.  If there
;is please let me know.
