Announcing four products from Hewlett Packard for the development and execution of Artificial Intelligence-based applications (prices subject to change without notice): HP 98678A Development Environment for Common LISP $ 4000 HP 98584A Monochromatic AI Development System $21400 HP 98585A Color AI Development System $29800 HP 98679A Execution License for Common LISP $ 750 When purchased with a development system, the following disk is recommended: HP 7914CT Hard disk with tape drive (132 Mbytes) $13350 DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT FOR COMMON LISP This software product is designed for the development of LISP-based applications. It balances the capability of symbolic computing with the capabilities of a general purpose HP-UX workstation. The benefits include: o An integrated development environment including an EMACS- based editor in a mouse-oriented, multiple-window environment. The editor is user-customizable. o A complete, high-performance implementation of Common Lisp, based on the book 'Common Lisp' by Guy Steele. o A range of workstations can be created to scale to the desired application. The HP 9000 Series 300 is a modular system: the choices include two processors, four display systems, RAM from 3 to 7.5 Mbytes, and a wide range of peripherals. o HP-UX access allows an application to leverage the tools and libraries of a standard operating system. HP-UX is HP's version of the Bell System V UNIX Operating System. The Windows/9000, Starbase graphics, NS/9000 and Device I/O libraries are all accessible from LISP. Also, the LISP environment has direct access to HP-UX to allow a developer to utilize system commands. o Traditional language access allows a developer to use all the existing software. FORTRAN, Pascal and C routines can be linked to a LISP application. Additionally, LISP can be customized to allow code development in C, Pascal and FORTRAN with specialized support for editing and debugging. AI DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS o These systems are hardware/software bundles tailored by HP to the needs of AI application developers. They include a Motorola 68020 CPU with 68881 floating point coprocessor, 6 MBytes of memory, IEEE 802.3 hardware with software, HP-UX multi-user programming environment, and the Development Environment for Common Lisp. A choice of either high resolution monochromatic or color display is provided. EXECUTION LICENSE FOR COMMON LISP o This product gives the application developer a low cost platform on which to base delivery of a completed appli- cation.
