I know I've flamed about this before and been answered at length, but Matt Hefrons "query" irritated me. I haven't seen such a good advertisement masquerading as something innocent since watching Masterpiece Theatre. Matt wants to survey marketed expert systems: fine. Is it really necessary to tell us that SxxxPxxx is such a one ( NOT, he is careful to point out to us, a mere shell ), marketed by some company ( whose name he is careful to spell out for us ), and which ( just in passing we can infer ) runs on - gosh - a PC. The query could have been stated quite clearly without all this commercial hype spraypainted over it. Pat Hayes -------
