If my faulty memory serves me correctly, the OPS5 language is roughly
equivalent to RETE.
The Allegro Common Lisp distribution comes with an OPS5 package.
I believe it is public domain (unsupported).
Sorry if I'm way off base on any of the above.  I am just a C programmer
who knows enough LISP to get myself into trouble.
