Description:

CLIPS is a productive development and delivery expert system tool which provides a complete environment for the construction of rule and/or object based expert systems. Created in 1985 by NASA, CLIPS is now widely used throughout the government, industry, and academia.

The public domain release of CLIPS by NASA contains code to create the clips
command line interpreter and xclips, an X11 CLIPS gui.

This package contains a patch for Linux released under the GPLv2 that does the following:
 - Adds autotool support to build libclips as a libtool library. This library can be used to build embedded CLIPS applications.

- Builds clips and xclips as applications linked against libclips rather than statically including the clips code

- Installs the proper clips headers for developing embedded CLIPS applications under /usr/include/clips-6.23

- Clean up some minor code points that prevented 6.23 from compiling under Linux

Since the original code was released into the public domain, and I have released the Linux patch under GPLv2 I have set the License tag as GPL.
