[comp.sources.wanted] WANTED: Natural Language Interface

levinson@accur8.UUCP (Edward Levinson) (01/10/91)

I'm looking for Natural Language Interfaces either from
commercial sources or the public domain.  I want to create an interface to
several databases and I don't want to have to build the NLI from an
expert system shell.

The target environment is UNIX (BSD) with character terminals and DOS
and UNIX workstations.  The underlying databases are Sybase and Ingres;
mainframe databases will be addressed in the future.

Opinions: They're mine, of course, and not those of my employer
