I read a message from Mark Jones on AILIST saying that CLIPS, an expert-
system 'shell' developped in C by NASA, was running on his/the Amiga. He
said it comes free, and with the source. He didnt say anything about
documentation though.
Does anyone know where/how to get a copy (I tried to send him mail but
it bounced back)

If you can get the source, CLIPS compiles pretty cleanly on the Amiga, at least under Aztec C. Ross Miller (ross@sword.ulowell.edu) has done a lot of CLIPS hacking, including an Amiga version and a parallel version for the Hypercube. When I told him about a disk at the Amiga Developer's Conference that had a port of CLIPS on it, he was pretty unhappy, saying CLIPS is a licensed package from NASA. You might contact Ross for more info, although requests for source will probably be tossed. ..Bob -- Bob Page, U of Lowell CS Dept. page@swan.ulowell.edu ulowell!page Have five nice days.

I believe NASA is happy to tell you how to get CLIPS. Of course if this guy has already done the porting I'd say get in touch with him. Our experience is that it's got a few gotchas that require a bit of work even to get it to work on Xenix (286, though). -- Peter da Silva `-_-' peter@sugar.uu.net Have you hugged U your wolf today?

I would be highly surprised if it is a licensed package. The reason is
that unless a piece of software is CLASSIFIED or is considered SENSITIVE
(as it relates to national security), software developed at any governament
laboratory and supported by taxpayers money is automatically PUBLIC
DOMAIN. Anything else is just hogwash!

Also, I did make a stab at porting it, but I didn't have that much luck. I added Amiga specific routines (time, system, etc.) and everything compiled nicely, but it didn't run quite right. When I tested it with the monkeys and banana program, it had oddball things like "The monkey jumps off of the ceiling onto the box". I haven't worked with it further, since I didn't have any specific application in mind. Darin Johnson (leadsv!laic!darin@pyramid.pyramid.com) "It's true, the world's not perfect...

Clip_in_C_Users_Journal = *"Dec/Jan 1988 Volume 7 issue 1" Yesterday, I ran across a rather intriguing article in C Users Journal about Gadgets. The Author was Jim Fiore, and the program was called JustSayYes.c For someone like myself who is learning how to program the Amiga, I enjoyed this article. He takes you through the process of building a color changer/ editor for a custom screen. You build 8 color selectors, 3 slider gadgets, 2 larger buttons, and an Amy 3000 in a pear tree.8^) The source code is about 12 pages long but reasonably commented. Now for a different question: I am wondering if anyone has built a dial gadget/slider. You know, like on a combination lock. A common experiment in Psychophysics is to give a subject a frequency generator with an unmarked dial/knob and have them turn the knob until whatever it changes matches whatever they are receiving as a stimulus. In my case, I have been thinking of a frequency generator and using the Amiga to generate Audio stimuli to do pitch matching experiments. A slider wouldn't work as well as a knob, since the slider has a left and right end that would provide the subject with some sort of reference to his/her last pitch match. Well, just a thought.

You know, like > on a combination lock. ... There is a commercial package available, called "Inovatools", published by Inovatronics, which contains lots of little Intuition goodies, including knob and dial gadgets, "drag" gadgets (they dress funny :-) and a nice set of Intuition support routines. The package cost me $52 and I got it from Briwall, a discount house in PA. If you don't mind paying, you might want to check it out. Get PowerWindows while you're at it - it's excellent.
