Bob, Do you have any test data that I can try running through the engine. I have some time to look at this today

It started as an independant project, but now it's looking like (hopefully) my Day Job will buy into it also. While the current code-base is 'from scratch', I may actually start over again, and base it upon the JEOPS rule engine. (http://sf.net/projects/jeops/). JEOPS seems to have stalled, and requires you to compile your rules into .java files, which you then compile into .class files. Which is a pain. So, I may be looking to take JEOPS and... a) Make it compatible with JDK 1.4 (rename 'assert()' method so as not to comflict with the new 'assert' keyword. Change usage of Vector ot ArrayList, etc) b) Make the rules themselves interpreted, instead of compile. c) Add time-knowledge components, so that you can perform time-based rules (ie, trouble-ticket escalation after X minutes). I have no clue about .Net really, but I have a feeling that the changes in (b) would make life difficult. Though, you may be able to 'port' it to the new .Net Visual J#, or something. Anyhow, I'm not at all offended and would be more than happy to work with you to accomplish everyone's goals.
