< cross posted to effected groups; please followup only to net.micro.pc > Here's the third and (I hope) last list of artificial intelligence software for MS-DOS based machines. I started with expert system shells, then picked up Prolog processors, and Lisp and other languages found their way in. "Decision support" tools are presumably decision tree managers; for their relation to expert systems, see the hot and heavy discussion in net.ai and mod.ai (or actually, the summary I've posted to those groups). Thanks to Lou Fried (FRIED@SRI-KL.ARPA) and Dallas Webster (CMP.BARC@R20.UTexas.Edu or ut-sally!batman!dallas) for additions to this list. The names, addresses, phone numbers, and especially prices are not guaranteed to be free from typos, line noise, or obsolescence. I have no experience or further information on any of these packages; don't call me, call the company. On the other hand, if *you* have used any of these systems, please drop me a line; I'll be happy to summarize and repost. I'd also like to hear of any products I'd forgotten, or any errata to my list. -Paul S. R.
