RULEWORKS, LANGUAGES, RuleWorks Language Environment RuleWorks is a language, compiler (with debugger), and Run-Time Library for constructing high performance, modular, object-oriented, forward-chaining, rules-based applications. (RuleWorks is an evolutionary step past OPS5.) It provides portability by producing ANSI C sources which can then be compiled with any of the leading C or C++ compilers. There is a Run-Time Library for each supported platform and C compiler. Prerequisites Before building RuleWorks in an OpenVMS environment, be certain that you have the following software already installed: OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 or greater or OpenVMS VAX V6.0 or greater DEC C V4.0 or greater or VAX C V3.2 Kit Format: RULSVMS.ZIP - All RuleWorks sources and build script. RULKAVMS.ZIP - RuleWorks compiler, run-time library and examples. (Alpha) RULKVVMS.ZIP - RuleWorks compiler, run-time library and examples. (VAX) Extracting the source files will create a directory structure as follows: [] - Contains The General Public License (HTML format) [.BIN] - Contains compiler and Help file when build process is complete. [.BUILD] - Contains build file and intermediate files during build process. [.EXAMPLES] - Contains example files. [.INCLUDE] - Contains header files. [.LIBRARY] - Contains run-time library when build process is complete. [.SOURCE] - Contains sources required for build. To build, unzip the source kit and invoke: @RULE_VMS.COM KIT
