Version 8 of TclCLIPS

Announcing the release of TclCLIPS

Developed by Dave Beazley, under contract to Dave Roseman of Eolas

Overview:

The TclCLIPS extension provides a Tcl interface to the CLIPS 6.10 expert system software. It provides the following capabilities

    - Tcl access to all of the functionality described in the
      CLIPS Reference Manual, Volume II (Advanced Programming Guide).

    - The ability to create and navigate through CLIPS data from Tcl.

    - The ability to define new CLIPS functions in Tcl.

For the most part, the Tcl interface is exactly the same as described in the CLIPS Advanced API documentation. Notable changes and additions are described in the distribution's README.txt file.

Two Windows distributions are available:

1) For Tcl 8.1+: http://www.eolas.net/tcl/clips/TclClips2001.zip

   (includes Windows dll, source, CLIPS documentation, and examples)

2) For Tcl 8.0: http://www.eolas.net/tcl/clips/TclClips.zip

   (Windows binary only, no source)

You can view the CLIPS 6.10 documentation at http://www.eolas.net/tcl/clips/clips-userguide.pdf

The official CLIPS homepage is at http://www.ghg.net/clips/CLIPS.html

MDD: The 8.0 version is a little flaky. Dave Roseman has been using the newer version for a while now in one of his projects, and will probably post some comments here on his experience with it. Dave mentioned to me that it works better if you skip the install procedure and just "load" the dll directly.
