- I am writing a decision-support program in CLIPS for the PC, and one of the
- highest priorities that I must consider in design of the program is that of
- a strong user interface.
-
- Because CLIPS places such a high priority in portability between all different
- types of machines, the user interfacing capabilities of the base system are
- crude at best, since only TTY-based functionality is provided.
-
- To get around this problem, I may be forced to write a main program that
- takes care of the interface in C, which will call CLIPS as a set of
- imbedded functions. While the Advanced Programming Manual of version 5.1
- documents how this can be done, I would like input from anyone who has done
- anything similar to what I have described.
-
- Any information concerning any problems encountered, special techniques used,
- or any other caveats involved with imbedding CLIPS or adding user interfacing
- capabilities to CLIPS would be very helpful, and greatly appreciated.
-
- Thanks.
