Well, the Manners code in Jess format has been posted to this list several times recently; see http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05113.html OPS5 isn't hard to understand, especially if you can compare it to some other format that you know. It's worth learning so that you can read the literature on expert systems, where it was commonly used. Here's the definitive source for all of Miranker's benchmark programs: ftp://ftp.cs.utexas.edu/pub/ops5-benchmark-suite Finally, regarding your request for pseudocode: Remember that rule-based programs aren't procedural, they're declarative, by definition. Understand the rules, and you understand the program. --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Distributed Systems Research Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 PO Box 969, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Livermore, CA 94550 http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
