   A couple shells are available for model-based reasoning:
      IDEA from AI Squared Inc.  508-250-4000

      POINTER from ARINC Research Corp.   301-266-4650

   I have not worked with either product, but I have seen a demo of an
   application done with POINTER and was impressed with its execution speed.
   Some model based reasoning schemes execute so slowly that it would be
   a knockout factor for the application from the user interface/friendliness
   viewpoint.
