- This is your OPS5+ diskette, from Artelligence, Inc.
-
- It contains a copy of OPS5+, called ops5plus.exe. You can
- install a batch file which will call this program with the
- appropriate parameters by running: install.bat. The install
- batch file runs OPS5+ loaded with a special production system
- which helps you to determine the parameters you want in a
- standard call to OPS5PLUS. Place the OPS5+ diskette in the
- default drive, and type `install'. OPS5+ will be loaded, along
- with the installation production system. It will ask questions,
- and use your answers to generate a batch file to your
- specifications.
-
- NOTE: If you only have the minimal 256K of memory on your PC, the
- install program will not be able to run. If you have at least
- 320K, then install will run properly. The OPS5 program which does
- the installation is called: instops.ops.
-
- Also On the diskette are two directories: examples and lib.
- Examples contains the four example production systems that are
- discussed in Chapters 2 and 3 of the OPS5 Language Manual. They are
- FEVER.OPS, SIEVE.OPS, MAC.OPS and MAB.OPS. The first file, FEVER,
- contains a question and answer system which implements a method
- for deciding whether or not to consult with a doctor about a
- child's fever. The second file, SIEVE, contains an
- implementation of the Sieve of Eratosthenes, an algorithm for
- listing primes. The third file, MAC, contains a solution to the
- Missionaries and Cannibals planning problem. The fourth file,
- MAB, contains a solution to the Monkey and Bananas planning
- problem. After starting up OPS5+, and loading the appropriate
- file, each production system can be started by first typing:
- (make start), and then giving the run command. (For the MAB.OPS
- system, it is slightly better to type `(make plan)'). A fifth
- example, illustrating use of rule priorities, is TREES.OPS. This
- program is discussed in Chapter 5.
-
- Lib contains the library files needed to interface to C code, and
- the calendar demonstration program.
-
- OPS5+ is NO LONGER COPY PROTECTED.
- You can copy OPS5PLUS.EXE to another diskette, or to a hard disk.
- You are, of course, still bound by the terms of the license
- agreement. The instructions in the installation section of your
- user manual are now obsolete.
