355.0. "ADS on VAX" by KETJE::VANDEVYVER (I've been in the desert on a node with no name...) Wed Jul 31 1991 16:29

Hi,

I've been in contact with the people from Software Generation :
"The AION Ditributor"

The product they're distributing is ADS, the famous IBM and PC shell,
which is available now on VMS.

We discussed local cooperation (Software Generation <-> Digital Belgium)
and went through a product demo.

the demo left a good impression :

the nearest competitor of ADS is KBMS, 
but imho ADS is much richer than KBMS :
	- easier development environment (although no mouse-support yet)
	- more flexibility in rules
	- very good object-oriented approach
	- impressive text-generating possibilities

They showed me a letter which says they have the CSH status.

Does anyone have experience with the product?
Is there an offical status?
Maybe a good candidate for a mini-training at the next AI-CC meeting (when?)

yes, it was announced at AAAI 91 this summer.

you say it's even better than KBMS? ;-)
