Hi Folks,

This time last week I posted a request for help, info, etc re: an EBNF for the
GURU and EXSYS rule compilers. Well folks, below is the summary, as promised,
of all the responses I recieved.

Not a lot to go by, but my thanks to Jana Koehler for offering a copy of thesis
and to Gary and Geoff for atc least writing to express their interest, if not
any hard facts.

Make of it what you will, I will be deriving the EBNF's over the next few weeks
and they will eventually make their way onto the ftp site here at loki
(October??).

greetings,

Shane.

I would be very grateful if you could summarise your results to this newsgroup
or forward them direct to me.

Thanks,
Geoff.

Hi, in 1987 i wrote my diploma thesis about a comparison of various expert
system shells. It contains also a EBNF of the language used for the rules
e.g. in exsys. But it is very short (only one page) and surely covers not all
of the today's system. Also the version I investigated was incomplete.
The text is also in german. If you don't find any better references I can
send it to you.

Hi! Saw your post about rule compilers, but unfortunately, I have no info
to share. However, I would really appreaciate either a summary on the net,
or a copy of the replies, as well as any references for rule compilation
in general.

Hi shane, I found an old copy of the chapterand I will send it to you.
I hope, you will not be disappointed because it is only a short overview
of the systems and about 5 years old and also considers the systems only
in their version for IBM-PC.

greetings, jana koehler
