by Hello,
we are proud to announce the version 1.2 of our Fuzzy Logic
development tool FOOL!
*********************************************************
* What are FOOL and FOX ? *
*********************************************************
We want to introduce the FOOL & FOX fuzzy logic development
tools to you ->
==========================================================================
FOOL = Fuzzy system development tool with interactive 'foolproof'
graphical user interface.
FOX = A small but powerful fuzzy engine. It works based on the databases
created with FOOL.
FOOL and FOX offer the following features: (for free!)
------------------------------------------------------
+ Interactive and (a kind of) "FOOLproof" development interface based
on the xview libs.
+ Online help
+ Support of most known fuzzy operators (36 different to be
exact). Exact tuning of every application of an operator
possible. Parameterized operators fully supported.
+ Five types of standard membership functions plus an unlimited number
of user defined membership functions.
+ User defined internal calculation precision
+ Fuzzy and/or floating point (crisp) input and output values
possible. No limits except your double-floating point range.
+ Building of multi-stage and/or parallel fuzzy systems possible via
simple shell scripts (or whatever language you like).
+ Easyily portable fuzzy engine (FOX) with low hard- and software
requirements. FOX only needs an ANSI-C compiler.
+ ASCII database format for better readability. Maybe you want to use
that database for your own software project.
+ Graphical visualisation of your self-defined linguistic variables
and the operators via xprism from the KHOROS package or gnuplot.
+ FOOL compiles on all machines with an ANSI C Compiler and xview-Libraries.
(FOOL was tested successfully on DEC MIPS, Linux and Sun OS)
+ Includes a complete user's manual (~100 pages) in postscript-format
a step-by-step example.
FOOL stands for the Fuzzy Organizer OLdenburg. It is a result from a
project at the University of Oldenburg. FOOL is a graphical user
interface to develop fuzzy rulebases. FOOL will help you to invent
and maintain a database that specifies the behaviour of a fuzzy-controller
or something like that.
FOX is a small but powerful fuzzy engine which reads this
database, reads some input values and calculates the new control
value.

*** CHANGES in package release 1.2: ***
***************************************
The package release 1.2 contains FOOL version 1.1 and FOX version 1.1
and some additional auxillary programs.
- Minor changes in the manual.
- Minor changes in the copyright.
FOOL(v1.1):
- Now supports gnuplot too (Thanx to Rinus Verkerk)
- Tempfiles are now cleaned up when leaving FOOL
- Fixed strdup("") compile-error in FOOLfile.c
FOX(v1.1):
- In 1.0 FOX was unable to use fuzzy input
values. Now this bug is fixed.
- Minor bugfixes for translating different fuzzy input precisions.

ps: OK, that was enthusiastic advertising ;-) but we are not Mancosoft
and you won't have to pay for beta-testing here (yet).
Even if we overdid it in some points, we still hope you like the
package and may find it useful.
