Jess has always worked this way. Beans are exactly like Facts, which behave exactly as they did in CLIPS. We've talked about changing this behavior, and that might happen, but it wouldn't be free. Either facts would have to change, too, or you'd lose some of the nice symmetry that exists now. It's too radical of a change to be a runtime option. Of course, every time I say something like this in public, the next day I think of a way to do it anyway... --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Distributed Systems Research Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 Org. 8920, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] PO Box 969 http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov Livermore, CA 94550 -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
