	I am about to begin using CLIPS 6.0 for a large practical, and
	have been using it recently for smaller practicals, and from my
	experience so far, CLIPS 6.0 seems to do all of what you have
	outlined above, all be it in a perhaps more lower-level way 
	(For instance: by message passing between objects).

	What are the differences between AGENT_CLIPS and CLIPS 6.0?

	Is it perhaps a 'macro-language' for implementing agents efficiently
	(by whatever measure) in CLIPS 6.0, or is it more like an
	entirely new language simply based on CLIPS 6.0? *

				
						Thanks,

							Mike


	* Is there any difference?
