[net.ai] MYCIN

From:  William Jerkovsky <wj@AEROSPACE>

I would like to execute a simple problem on MYCIN. I have recently gotten
interested in expert systems; since my wife is bacteriologist I think both
of us would enjoy the interaction with the program via our home computer
(terminal).

Can anyone point out the way to get a (free) copy of MYCIN (even if it is
only a simple early version)? Is there a way I can execute a version
interactively from home without actually getting a copy? Does anybody know
of an on-line tutorial on MYCIN? Is there a simple version of MYCIN (or a
reasonable facsimile) which runs on an

Apple //e or on an IBM PC?

I'll appreciate whatever help I can get.

Thanks
