About the expert system files: These are the text and program files from
my introductory course in Engineering Expert Systems, ME 715, at
McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.  (I wonder how many people
have posted their homework to GEnie?)

ME715.SCR  is the screens file.  Sorry it's so large, but this is what I
allocated at the beginning of the project.  Shadow screens are located
at offset +120.  The Forth I'm using is Charles Curley's real-Forth,
which is basically 79-Forth with fig-Forth names.  (E.g., it's called
<BUILDS but it works like CREATE.)  This should be Real Easy to
translate to the Forth of your choice.

ASGN5-1  is the "idiot-level" project, using a monstrous set of IF-THEN
statements to implement the rules.  The text also includes my intro to
Forth for the Fortran-oriented prof.  Listings 1 and 2 are both of
screens 9-14.  Figures 1 thru 4 were test runs; you'll have to duplicate
them.  I include this paper for completeness; you can probably skip it.

ASGN7-1  is the expert system I described at Rochester '90.  I hope you
can live without Figure 1; it's a pencil sketch.  Figure 14 is the
sketch of the data structures; if you can't reproduce it, it will be
published (as "figure 2") in the conference proceedings.  The listings:
	Listing 1 =  screens 15-20
	Listing 2 =  screens 21-26
	Listing 3 =  screens 27-32
	Listing 4 =  screens 33-38.

ASGN9-1  is the expert system modified for probability.  There's also
a Monte Carlo simulator.  Again, all of the figures are test runs which
I don't have in text files.  Listing 1 is screens 39-47.  Listing 2 is
screens 48-56.

All of these assignments are keyed to the text, _Expert_Systems_for_
_Engineers_ by J.N. Siddall (the prof), to be published by Marcel
Dekker, New York, sometime this year.  (We lucky students got a draft
copy of the book.)

Good Luck!
