Select A Wine Demo

The "Select A Wine" demo was originally written by Gary Riley.
The "Select A Wine" program has been enhanced and converted to CLIPS COOL code, and integrated with WebCLIPS by Chris Lehman.

Note: As previously explained, I am not running WebCLIPS applications at this site. However, you can download the Wine Demo files and run the application yourself. As a matter of ethics, you should keep the acknowledgments on this page, adding your own contributions, if any.

How to Set Up the WebCLIPS Select A Wine Demo

1) Set up the WebCLIPS environment. If you're not sure what that means, go here
2) Create a demo web page. The easy way is to view the contents of this page using your browser's "View Page Source" feature and recreate your own version.
3) Download the CGI interface file. This is a Perl script that gathers up user responses and then writes to a file in a format that is readable by a CLIPS program. This file needs to go in a directory that allows CGI execution, typically something called "cgi-bin".
4) Download the WebCLIPS INI file. This file sets up environment variables, and should be located under cgi-bin.
5) Download CLIPS web interface files wchtml.clp and wctmpl.clp. See the INI file for usage.
6) Download the CLIPS program
