There are three directories in this area that contain CLIPS utilities 
and code. Feel free to add utilities to these directories. Please make sure
that what you add is documented. Email aiai-hardy-users when you add things.
The directories are:

general  - CLIPS things that are generally useful, independent of the
	   application you are writing. These are expected to be used
	   as mix-and-match, i.e. you will use individual functions in 
	   your own applications

applics  - applications that work for all diagram cards or hypertext cards.
	   These are expected to be used as a whole, i.e. their functionality 
	   can be made available for different card types.
	   Usually, the code will be linked into a HARDY application via
	   event handlers, e.g. for the custom menu on cards.

specific - these are applications specific to a diagram type, but similar to
	   things in "applics" above.  In many cases, if the diagram type
	   changes, the code should change too. It may be possible to adapt
	   the code to work for other diagrams too, but that will involve 
	   re-writing.
	   It may be a good idea to make a sub-directory for a diagram type
	   (or for a diagram category) and put all specific code for that 
	   type (or category) in there. There may also be type/category
	   specific (but not application specific) utilities, which should
	   also live in such sub-directories.

If you find bugs in any of the utilities or have ideas for extensions,
it is probably best to email the owner of the file about it.

Note that we are trying to follow DOS naming conventions here for both
files and directories so that code can be transferred to (and used on!)
PCs. These conventions are: lower case only, maximum of 8 characters
plus 3 for the extension. Underscores, hyphens, and numbers are legal 
characters.
