	It will be ten years ago next October when the Japanese
announced their ten year Fifth Generation project, which was supposed
to involve a heavy use and development of AI techniques. Can anybody
out there please summarize if the project has lived up to its
expectations, and what it has achieved, in any case?

The fifth generation project has developed parallel hardware for logic 
programming, but inadequate software for large scale AI.
