           HI!!  And welcome to ESIE!!  This Artificially Intelligent
           Inference Engine can do great and wondrous things.

           This simple knowledge base is just to give you a small example
           of what ESIE can do.  ESIE eats this kind of stuff up for
           lunch and can actually do quite more.

           Anyhow, this knowledge base is prepared to play twenty
           questions with you.  If you will be good enough to think of
           an animal, then we will begin.

          What do you think?  Was the knowledge base correct?  Did we
          guess your animal?  Well, as none of us are biologists here at
          Lightwave, it is a miracle any of the animals are right.  Your
          suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
