EXPERT SYSTEM
This prototype expert system program uses the modules `result.g', `table.g',
`knowledge.g', `match.g' and `search.g'. The main program reads in the file
`animals', treats the first line as the main goal to be solved, and converts
the remaining lines into the table of definitions representing the permanent
knowledge about the problem area. The program then solves the main goal and
displays the questions and solutions to the user, using the answers to the
questions to continue the search for solutions. Each answer should be `yes' or
`no'. After each solution, the user is asked whether the solution is adequate
or whether the search should be continued for alternative solutions.

-- The `main' function reads in the data file before interacting with user.
-- The `process' function takes the contents of the file and the input from the
-- user and produces the output. It builds an initial goal and a definition
-- table from the file contents, and an information table from the user's
-- input, and calls the `solve' function. The list of questions and solutions
-- from this call is stripped to remove duplicate questions, and displayed as
-- output. The questions are also extracted and used to help build the
-- information table which contains question-and-answer pairs.
