[can.ai] Student versions of OPS5

Computer Thought Corp. has begun shipping students versions
of the expert system lang. These are operational on IBM PC/XT/AT
on one 5.25'' floppy drive
The system should accomplish for rule-based systems what
Borland's Turbo Prolog has already accomplished for logic
programming: mass distribution and increased public understanding.

The package costs $255 for Graduate student version,
$90 for undergraduate version.

It's nice that software is made available for students at reduced prices,
but I'm a little worried that the OPS5 system would do what Turbo-Prolog
does...Turbo-Prolog is just plan bad, and anyone who uses Turbo-Prolog
as a method of understanding Prolog is doing damage to their logic
skills.  OPS5 is procedural, so maybe you will all be better off?
