Thanks! I've already downloaded it.

I will write & send you a backward chaining example, if I can think of a nice
one.

> Hi Folks,

> Well, as promised, I've posted a snapshot of Jess 5.0 in its current
> state to the web site

> It is, as the name implies, an alpha release, meaning it's not
> done. Some of the new features still have quirks and the overall
> performance needs a little work (5.0a1 is about 10% slower than 4.3),
> but actually, it's fairly solid. There are no new examples yet,
> unfortunately, although examples are sorely needed to help explain 
> usage of the new stuff.
> 
> Important new features and changes:
>         - Java 1.1 only - no deprecated warnings. No 16-bit streams.
>             
>         - No more ReteDisplay interface - everything is handled via
>           events like JavaBeans.
>         - Lots of API names changed: name() -> getName(). Sorry.
>         - Everything is Serializable; bload and bsave work (although
>           slowly.)
>         - Inheritance of defclasses, deftemplates. This one is really
>           neat.
>         - Backwards chaining is operational. This is also fun.
> 
> 
> The list has been curiously silent for about a week - as far as I can
> tell, though, there are no technical problems. Hopefully I'll hear
> some feedback on this release (or even the jazzy new web site... :)
