Training for AI
products and services Encodingkey for IBM PCs With the Data Protection Act already in force, California Products has Software launched a removeable encoding key for the IBM PC/ compatibles and XT/AT which provides a hard disc data protection facility. Called Dara Sentinel, the device plugs into a parallel printer port on the PC and prevents unauthorized access to hard disc files by calling up a ‘seal’ command which automatically encodes the file. It
Training for AI Universities and colleges can now benefit from an AI training package offered by UKbased Expert Systems InterIt comprises 10 national. copies of Prolog-t, the advanced implementation of Prolog, and ten copies of ESP Advisor, the expert systems development tool. Also included in the package are reference manuals and supporting material. Expert Systems International expects the package to be used in demonstration of AI and expert systems techniques enabting students to improve their AI knowledge at a much lower cost to the university.

The Data Sentinel can be removed from the printer port and locked away leaving behind data files consisting of a sequence of unintelligible chartotally acters.

ESI’ Advisor has a comprehensive set of commands which allows users with little or no programming skill to build a knowledge base and continue to construct a prototype which can be extended into a complete system up to one Megabyte in size. The training package of both products starts from &2000 and it will run on IBM PC XT/AT and compatibles, plus Apricot and DEC Rainbow systems. Running under PC/DOS and MS/DOS, the packages require a minimum of 384 kbyte memory. Both packages are available through distributors in Denmark, Italy, Netherlands and the USA as well as in the UK. {Expert Systems IEte~atio~ai Ltd, 9 West Way, Oxford OX2 OJe, UK.

physically present and by calling up an ‘open’ command. The product also provides !ile server protection in a network and is capable of encoding and compressing a 128 kbyte data file on an IBM PC AT within 14 seconds according to the manufacturer. Both corporate and personal versions are available. The corporate sets consist of a series of individual keys which are all different and two master keys which have a unique encoding pattern but are able to open all related personal key files. The corporate key set which consists of two master and five individual keys is priced at &990 with additional individual keys costing &95 each. The personal keys, available
Data Sentinel in pairs, are unique sets with each key in the pair the same and every pair providing different encoding patterns. The personal key sets are priced at &240. (California Software Products Ltd, Shirley Lodge, 470 London Rd, Slough, Berks SL3 8QY, UK. Tel: 10753) 41278)
