This is version 1.2 of the BELIEF package.  It is currently

Read the file INSTALLATION for installation instructions.
TeX (Note:  *not* LaTeX [Yetch!]) the files using-it.tex and

The file overview.tex in the doc directory contains a list of
reference on graphical belief models and belief-ref-manual.tex.Z in
the same directory contains a programmer's reference manual.

Limited support for the BELIEF package is provided via electronic
mail.  Please mail any problems to almond@stat.washington.edu or
almond@statsci.com, and I will try and examine them, as I have a
chance.  

This version is obsolete (even as it is written).  It should be
substantially re-written for a CLOS implementation.  The new
implementation, along with a model development environment should be
eventually available from StatSci.


Good Luck
