- Type: text/misc
-
- Deduce will let a user enter information as plain English sentences and
- then ask yes/no questions about it. Deduce will be able to determine
- the answers to the questions through deductive reasoning.
-
- eg
-
- Spot is a dog
- A dog is an animal
- Is spot an animal?
-
- Yes
-

- Changes since 1.21

-
- version 1.22 (bugfix)
- * Fixed that enforcer hit. See up on changes for version 1.20 where
- it says "Fixed a bug that caused segmentation faults on a Sun
- Sparc Station" ? Well, that code somehow got lost and wasn't
- included in the Amiga version. And when I upgraded to SAS/C, it
- DID start causing problems. (Thanks Stefan Dube and Simon Stelling)
- * Fixed another problem with negative logic. Consider the following:
- a dog will eat dog_food
- a cat is not a dog
- will a cat eat dog_food?
- Deduce would answer yes. This has been fixed. (Thanks Stefan Dube)
- * Deduce no longer prints the blank lines in its output. (suggested by
- Simon Stelling)
