1. What tools are available through Digital or any 3rd Party for the Risc
	stations ? (eg decstation 5000)

>>> SEE BELOW

2. specifically will NEXPRT run (I believe yes?)
	if so, what are the possibilities of getting loaners ?
	how long would it take ?
	what is the procedure ?
	How much does Nexpert cost on a DECstation 5000 ?

>>> YES NEXPERT RUNS FINE ON THE DESTATION FAMILY.  LINDA CAN
>>> ADDRESS LOANER/PRICE ISSUES

3. Is there any version of OPS5 available on a Risc box ?
	What 3rd party vendor ? contact ?
	anything close ? (eg OPS83?  Lisp based OPS5 ?)
	how much are they (if known) & what about loaners ?

>>> NO VERSION OF OPS5 AVAILABLE FOR THE RISC MACHINES, BUT,
>>> OPS83 _IS_ AVAILABLE, COST IS $1950 FOR SINGLE USER WS.
>>> CONTACT :
>>>         Dianna Connan, (412)683-4000
>>>         Production Systems Technologies, Inc.
>>> 	    5001 Baum Boulevard, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 

4. What ART products are available on the Risc box ?
	even if we don't support it as a CMP, I need to know what runs.

>>>	ART-IM RUNS ON THE RISC RUN

5. How long and what procedure to get a Lisp loaner (Lucid I assume)
	for Risc (DECstation 5000) ?

>>>     LINDA CAN ANSWER THIS

6. What other products run (AI) on the risc stations ?

>>>	QUINTUS PROLOG (DDS)
>>>	GENSYM's G2 (CSH)
>>>	KnowledgeCraft (CMP) (VT version until august, i.e. no graphic env.)
>>>	Bell Atlantic's LASER - C-based, similar to KC (CSH)
>>>	CLIPS (NASA's Public Domain version of ART)
>>>	ports in progress: Epitool (DDS), KBMS (CMP in prog), Mahogany(ISV)

Thanks, I'm realy strapped for time and I've been on the road a lot, so
I would aappreciate rapid responses to any/all of the above ASAP.

>>>	BELIEVE ME, WE KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.  HOPE THIS HELPS.
>>>	Regards, Dino

    Can anyone qualify the above for Europe? What are the Europe-supported
    softwares and who are our preferred partners here?

Pat,

To answer your and Rene's questions:

1. Nexpert is sold and supported in Europe for all platforms
2. OPS83 is not represented in Europe
3. Quintus is not our prefered Prolog vendor here. We have CSH or ISV agreements 
with Interface GmbH for IF-Prolog, Quintec Ltd for Quintec Prolog, Dephia for 
Delphia Prolog, and ZYX in Sweden.
4. Gensym's G2 is represented in Europe but we don't have a specific local 
relationship agreement.
5. Knowledge Craft is also represented but no special agreement.
6. The other tools mentioned, except Epitool of course, are not represented in 
Europe.

Please refer people to the European Workstation catalogue edited by the European 
Application program in Geneva (Stephan Hansmire) which contains information 
about the availability on RISC p[latforms of varioous AI tools.

Regards,
Pascal

    Hodge or Richard Stow for more info.
