- =====Artificial Intelligence
-
-
- [Alphanet]
- Alphanet (Thinking Software, Inc.; $?) is an AI demonstration of Neural
- Networks that teaches your computer to recognize letters and numbers.
- Fascinating information about this branch of Artificial Intelligence
- research is provided.
-
- [AI_TUTOR]
- AI-Tutor (Thinking Software, Inc.; $0) is an introduction to Artificial
- Intelligence. It discusses what AI is, all about Neural Networks, about
- Expert Systems, and about Natural Language. It also contains a tutorial on
- the PC and essential DOS commands.
-
- [AVATAR]
- Avatar I (AMC Publishing; $0) is an expert system editor and inference
- engine (a "knowledge data base" or "artificial intelligence system" which
- can be queried in English). Avatar features an editor that guides you
- through creating the knowledge base structure. Although Avatar is in the
- programming section, no programming knowledge or experience is required.
-
- [Expert]
- Expert (Walton, Stephen; $?) is an AI-type program. It allows you to create
- a "knowledge base" as easily as you would a spreadsheet template. It is
- easy to use.
-
- [Extol]
- Extol (Taylor, Michael C.; $25) is a programming language designed
- especially for Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI). It is particularly
- well-suited for tutorials and instruction in non-mathematical domains.
-
- [PCLisp]
- PCLisp (Ashwood-Smith, Peter; $15) while small, is capable of running a
- pretty good subset of Franz LISP. The functions are supposed to perform in
- the same way as Franz with a few exceptions made for efficiencies sake.
- Other features include full garbage collection of all types, heap
- management, access to some MSDOS BIOS graphics routines, over 160 built-in
- functions, stack overflow detection and full error checking on all calls,
- and more.
-
- [XLisp]
- XLisp (Betz, David Michael; $0) is an experimental, artificial intelligence
- programming language combining some of the features of Common Lisp with an
- object-oriented extension capability. It was implemented to allow
- experimentation with object-oriented programming on small computers.
-
- [XXXPert]
- XXXPert (Thurber, Stephen; $50) is an expert system facility (editor and
- inference engine).
-
- [PIE_BR]
- PIE (Ruggles, Brent; $0) is a Prolog interpreter with several examples,
- including Eliza and Turtle Graphics. PIE also does string handling,
- windowing and real arithmetic.
