OPS5 for PC ?

I'm looking for a full-blown version of OPS5 for the IBM-PC. Working
with the VAX-VMS version of OPS5, I'd like to experiment on my (not
so terribly loaded) private PC. 
TOPSI - as far as I know - does not support the essential features
which make OPS5 unique: RETE-match and therefor no recency conflict
resolution, terrible effects of rule growth on the resources (time!).
Without Rete-Match, a program developed will not be portable to 
serious environments which is what I want.
Does anybody have an idea where to get (buy or public domain) ?
If nobody knows I might try to make my own (with Turbo-prolog or Pascal).
But it might take me a long time...... @(^!^)@.
Thank you very much in advance,

PS.: I would also like contact with anybody interested in or working
     with OPS5 or interested in ai-applications like configuration
     problems etc.

One year ago, the full RETE algorithm existed in a beta version of
TOPSI.  It may have migrated to the regular release by now.
