[comp.sys.apollo] CLIPS on Apollo?

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!

I am trying to get the AI tool CLIPS running on an Apollo
workstation.  The Apollo has Aegis4-DOMAIN/IX rev 9.2.3.
CLIPS seems to work fine for small test cases, but apparently
prematurely thinks it is out of memory for a problem of any
significant size.  The code that I am trying to load and run
was originally in ART on a Symbolics, was modified to be
syntactically acceptable to CLIPS and has been successfully
run with CLIPS on a VAX.

I have yet to find anyone who knows of anyone using CLIPS
on an Apollo.  I've tried the CLIPS helpline at NASA and
have talked to Apollo software reps already. 

I am new to CLIPS, the Apollo, and C, which CLIPS is coded in.
Oh yeah, this my first USENET posting.   ...have mercy!

Any info or help would be greatly appreciated.

First, update that obsolete software.  You should be running sr9.7.

Then go read the sbrk() man page.  I don't remember exactly how,
but there is some way to increase the amount of memory available
to sbrk().
