I am looking for a copy of the public domain expert system shell Ellipse. Ellipse is a subset of the ESS ART which runs in a PC environment under MS-DOS. I am especially interested in finding the source code for Ellipse so that I can added custom interfaces for other application which I am developing. Any one with a copy of Ellipse or knowledge of current postings of Ellipse to BBS can contact me by mail at mcgee@ncrclm.Clemson.NCR.COM or by posting information in AI newsgroups.

It employs the Rete algorithm (ala OPS5 and ART) and uses a subset of ART syntax. It is an extremely fast, portable, and compact system. It is written in C and all source code is available. It is designed to be embedable or be extended by a programmer. An emacs editor is integrated into the environment (although it can be easily removed). A not so useful cross reference, source verification utility is also supplied. The Mac version has all sorts of bells and whistles, but the editor is not emacs.
