Jess rules are compiled into a "Rete network," a complex data structure that bears some similarity to the indexes of a database, but on steroids. This class is a part of that network. There will be a number of instances of this class for each rule you have defined, and neither (reset) nor (clesr-storage) will have any affect on them. They will exist as long as the rule(s) they are related to are defined. You should observe that some fraction of them will disappear for each rule you remove using (undefrule), and they should all disappear if you erase all the rules using (clear). --------------------------------------------------------- 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!)
