Bindings aren't all that tough, particularly when they are "semi-thick" bindings and you already have thick bindings to work off of. You'd only need to make ones for the routines you use. I'm not just saying this; I've done it. I had an AI class that was using the PD CLIPS AI shell, and like you I was given my choice of language to use. The project I made is here - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/Fodderbot/Fodderbot.html , and the semi-thick CLIPS bindings I made for it are here - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/AdaClips/AdaClips.html . -- T.E.D.
