It is there that Siemens' dwarves Are building the machine, The Knowledge Cruncher Machine, A Prolog engine. The European Manufacturer's team in Munich Have slaved for years, Conceiving prototype after prototype, Talkative Bruno the workhorse, And now KCM is complete. The dwarves of Augsburg have commenced construction. It will be my Christmas present. I will talk to it in the New Year. The future is on the way. A computer that can sift a giant database In the time taken to boil a cup of tea. -- Douglas Clark Voice: +44 225 826039 User Services, JANET: ccsdgdc@uk.ac.bath.gdr Bath University Computing Services, UUCP : uunet!mcvax!ukc!gdr!ccsdgdc Bath, Avon, England BA2 7AY ARPA : ccsdgdc%gdr.bath.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk
