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?
