Woo-hoo!

When you say "using just the API", do you mean frobbing the WorkingMemory
type of operations, or things more along the lines of the SPI stuff?

Alas, not really.  I haven't been able to track down Forgy's primary
source.  I've got a few AI books that discuss it some.  A few brief
lecture notes (some were even incorrect, as I figure it) are available
online.   And, all-in-all, all descriptions have been targetting to
LISPesque notations, where each part of an expression directly maps
to a column in a table.  So, mixing all of these little half-explanations,
I was able to piece together what I thought RETE truly was.

I don't know if I could explain RETE from a cold start, but if you
have somewhat of a background, I could certainly attempt to answer
specific questions.
