Dear Professor Amarel,

My oral exam is scheduled  for May 19, so by definition I  now have a
first  draft  of my  thesis  ready. Actually,  a  few  appendices are
missing and the overview chapter is only half written.

I thought that you might wish  to look it over. Also, please show  it
to Dr. Srinivasan and to Larry Welsch, who have contacted me about it.
Criticism is  encouraged!  When final drafts are available, I'll mail
copies to all of you.  A users' manual is in preparation, and will be
available soon, as well.

Chapter 2  contains an introductory  example.  The  next few chapters
deal with the control structure  and representation in great  detail.
The last couple chapters present some of the results and conclusions.

If you think of a better title, I'm still  open for suggestions.  The
subtitle is of course a joke, and will change before the final draft.

My  wife and I will  be in Philadelphia  in late May  and early June;
perhaps we can get  together at that  time.  In any  case, I hope  to
hear from you soon.

.DBL(Regards, Doug Lenat)
