Hi, 

Thank you for your interest on DYNACLIPS. 
This tool designed to show that Dynamic Knowledge Exchange
is possible and it would be useful in some application. You can
also use this tool as a Blackboard tool and Intelligent Agents tool.

DYNACLIPS RUNS  ONLY ON SUN WORKSTATION and uses
SUNOS IPC FACILITIES. IT DOES NOT RUN ON PC, MAC, HP, etc.

If you use DYNACLIPS for any project, I would like
know your experiences on it.

I would appreciate any comment that you would make.
Your comments would be very useful for future
versions of DYNACLIPS. 

Aslo, let me know if you want to be in my mailing list
for DYNACLIPS.

In order to setup DYNACLIPS read file SETUP51 or SETUP60. After setting up,
run  examples to see if it is working properly. DYN/doc/menual.ascii
contains information about loading example 1 and example 2.
 
DYNACLIPS IS NOT REALLY WELL DOCUMENTED AND TESTED. 
USE IT ON YOUR OWN RISK.
