	A recent posting of mine generated so much mail that I decided
to post information here regarding CLIPS, the portable expert system
shell written in C at NASA.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

				CLIPS
				-----

	CLIPS stands for the 'C Language Integrated Production System'.
It is a portable expert system shell developed at NASA Johnson.  CLIPS
has been run on DOS machines, VMS machines as well as UNIX machines by
me as well as others.  A forward chaining system, CLIPS is distributed
by COSMIC for NASA.  More information on this shell can be obtained by
calling (713)-280-2233.  Further, a book on expert systems as well as
on CLIPS has been published recently.  The name of the book is :
EXPERT SYSTEMS :  PRINCIPLES AND PROGRAMMING by J. Giarratano & 
G. Riley   (PWS Kent Publishing, who have an 800 number).  

	Please call the CLIPS help desk for further information on CLIPS
as well as NETS (a Neural Network package).
