[mod.ai] corrections to Navin Chandra note on AIList Digest

PALLAKOFF@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA (Matt Pallakoff) (10/16/86)

Navin,

I saw your note on IBM's expert system environment (ESE).  I worked
one summer with the group that developed it.  First, it's no longer
called PRISM.  They changed that fine name, used throughout the
research and development, to Expert System Development Environment/
Expert System Consultation Environment, the two subsystems of ESE which
are sold separately or together.  (I don't think they have reversed this
decision since I left.)
    Secondly, It is written in PASCAL, not LISP.  Finally, it was created
at the IBM Research Center in Palo Alto, California (where I worked).
I don't know a tremendous amount about it (having spent only a couple
months working on interfaces to it) but I might be able to give you some
general answers to specific questions about it.
