README for CLIPS
----------------

The clips-common package for Debian provides some examples
of expert system to play with. These have been downloaded from
the sourceforge page at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/clipsrules/files/CLIPS/

The examples are available under /usr/share/doc/clips-common/examples
after the 'clips-common' package is installed.

Here you have sample session that shows you how to load one example:
(Note: some examples might be compressed so you'll need to uncompress
them before loading the file into clips)

If you want to provide some of your own CLIPS programming examples please send
them to the package maintainer or submit them as 'wishlist' bugs (to submit
bugs use 'reportbug' or 'bug' in any Debian system). Only examples
which use a free software license (e.g. GPL) will be included in the 
Debian package.

Have fun!
