Welcome to the CMU Artificial Intelligence Repository.

The AI Repository was established by Mark Kantrowitz in 1993 to
collect free software and materials of general interest to AI
researchers, educators, students, and practitioners.

If this is the first time you have used the Repository, please read
this file and the file named readme.txt. The file readme.txt contains
important information concerning the repository and conditions on use
of the repository. By retrieving files from the repository, you
signify your agreement to these conditions.

This directory contains six annotation files and several directories:

   0.all                     Concatenation of the repository's 0.doc files
   0.ask                     Abbreviated version of 0.all
   0.doc                     Top-level documentation (this file)
   readme.txt                Read this file before using the AI Repository
   file_ext.txt              File extensions in use in the repository
   ls-Rla.gz                 Results of running ls -Rla on the repository

   copying/                  GNU GPL and other copyright notices
   doc/                      Help with ftp, bitftp, ftpmail, etc.
   util/                     Compression and archiving software
   html/                     Mosaic-related documents, FAQ files, etc.
   ptfai/                    Administrative sub-directory
   new/                      For contributing files to the repository
                    
   <topic>                   sub-directory for <topic>
   ...

The remaining directories are the tops of topical directory trees.  These
are (typically) structured as follows:

  a/
    0.doc                     documentation file for topic a
    aa/
      0.doc                   documentation file for topic aa
      aaa/
        0.doc                 documentation file for package aaa
        0.iso                 ISO-9660 file name correspondence table
        0.lst                 summary listing file for package aaa
        aaa.lzv                      verbose listing of aaa.zip
        aaa.zip               Info-zipped archive
    ab/
      ...

There are some definite flaws with the current hierarchy, principally
stemming from limitations in the ISO-9660 file system and differences
between CD-ROM and FTP archive structuring priorities.  We expect to
rearrange things in the future, so let us know your preferences...
