    I'm looking for information on the following
	expert system/shells:

	a) Babylon (All I have about this is that it is
			produced by a West German company,
			whose name I don't know. I'd like
			to know what kind of beast it is,
			what it runs on, who builds it,etc.,
			etc.,etc.....)

	b) MP-LRO  (This I know runs on an Apollo. Anyone out
			there know what it does? What it's
			written in? Have any experiences with it?)

	c) Advise  (This one I know most about. What I need is
			info on how well it runs. Anyone out there
			used this. (It's a product from the work
			that Michalski & group have done.))

Thanks in advance for any help.

MP-LRO is a tool for developping and testing expert systems, which has
two main components:
	1	LRO: an Object Oriented Language
	2	MP : inference engine (moteur parametrable)
Give or take a few details one can describe the tool as RB (Rule Based),
with OO (Object Oriented) support like OAV(Object Attribute Value)
triplets, classes and inheritance.

The system was built by CRIL (Conception et Realisation Industrielles
de Logicel) in France. It functions on top of LE-LISP (also a french
product).
