                      7: .SH DESCRIPTION
                      8: .I Pearl
                      9: is an AI programming language built on top of F\s-2RANZ\s0\ L\s-2ISP\s0.
                     10: P\s-2EARL\s0 (Package for Efficient Access to Representations in Lisp)
                     11: was developed with space and time efficiencies in mind.
                     12: In addition to providing the usual AI facilities such as slot-filler
                     13: objects, demons and associative data bases,
                     14: P\s-2EARL\s0 introduces stronger typing on slots,
                     15: user-assisted hashing mechanisms,
                     16: and a forest of data bases.
                     17: .LP
                     18: There are too many functions to list here; one should refer to the

                     21: P\s-2EARL\s0 was implemented at Berkeley by Joseph Faletti and Michael Deering
                     22: under the direction of Robert Wilensky.
                     23: P\s-2EARL\s0 was originally implemented under UCILisp on a DEC 2040, moved
                     24: without modification to a PDP 10 under TOPS 10, and then (with
                     25: significant modification) to a VAX 11/780 under F\s-2RANZ\s0\ L\s-2ISP\s0.
