It's that old standby introduction to rule-based reasoning that tries to deduce what animal you have in mind by asking questions like "Does it have feathers?", "Does it have hooves?" etc. The problem is that I described this program to my wife and she now wants to program it on an Apple IIc for her elementary school students. I believe I saw the listing in an "Intro to AI" article in some magazine but I'm not sure. I would prefer not to have to help her program the thing from scratch so any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, David C. Brauer MilNet: dbrauer@NOSC.Mil
