Q&A about Expert System Shell (ESTA)
- Yes, Visual Prolog is supplied with the PDC expert
system shell ESTA. The ESTA directory contains the executable file, full
source code, and some implementation examples.
- You can easily interface ESTA to 3rd-party applications like spreadsheets,
databases, word processors etc. via the built-in DDE-interface.
- ESTA includes an interface to Visual Prolog, which means that you can go
beyond the built-in functionality - you can build your own extensions to
ESTA or integrate ESTA into an existing Visual Prolog application.
- A knowledge base in ESTA has a hierarchical structure from which a tree
display is automatically drawn. You can edit or expand your knowledge base
directly from the tree. In this way you can easily get an overview of your
knowledge.
- Unfortunately it is impossible in the current ESTA version.
- The problem is in a corrupted format of *.KB files supplied with Visual
Prolog 5.02. Visual Prolog 5.1
includes correct files.
The picture database belonging
to my project is incompatible with the new version of ESTA (5.1).
