	He said that the demonstration of the Mercury system he saw was based
	solely on the fact that they thought they were better then Gensym's G2
	Expert System. He was disappointed that their demonstration was based on
	"Gensym Bashing" rather than the capabilities of their system. As a
	result he attended a G2 training course to better understand the
	capabilities of G2.

Questions for you.
	We are currently using Gensym's G2 Expert System. Due to time
	constraints were not able to fully research the market
	for other competators products. Have you or anyone else compared
	compared Gensym G2 or R*Time expert systems with Mercury's expert
	system shell? If so what were your thoughts/feelings? I'm also
	interested in any responses that you receive which compare the
	previoulsly mentioned systems or mention any other systems that
	offer the similar functionality.

		Good luck,
