Other products by Julian Smart

The following are available via the AIAI World Wide Web page or FTP site.

Hardy

A superset of wxCLIPS, Hardy is a meta-CASE tool, or hypertext-based diagramming tool. It's good for rapidly developing applications that are heavily diagramming-oriented, such as business process modelling, object-oriented analysis and design, Petri nets, and knowledge acquisition. Hardy is free for academic and personal use.

Tex2RTF

Translates a subset of LaTeX into WinHelp RTF, linear RTF, HTML and wxHelp format. Primarily a system for creating multi-format, multi-platform documentation, Tex2RTF can be useful for one-off LaTeX to word processor conversions if the contents are not too complex. MS Word 6 is supported rather well with contents page, indexing and simple bibliographic references. Tex2RTF is free.

wxWindows

A free cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit with a growing following on the Internet and elsewhere. Most ftp-able AIAI applications are written in wxWindows.
