KLIPS is correctly pronounced CLIPS.  It is an Expert Systems tool written
at NASA's Johnson Space Flight Center and is available to the public
through the COSMIC program (COSMIC program #MSC-27208).  I don't know the
price, but COSMIC prices usually cover just the costs of repro, shipping
and handling.  It comes on 6 IBM floppies in C Source code and will run
with no or minor changes on any system that has an ASNSI C compiler & 256K
memory.

It is a tool that can be used as standalone or embedded within a program as
a subroutine -- and can even call your own subroutines.  As we just got it
in, I can't give you any personal experience evaluations, but it looks look
it may be pretty good & the price is right!

Good Luck!
