[LispM-Hackers] IIM Patent cshapiro mentioned on c.l.l now in /home/lispm

[John Morrison]

Hi All;

Carl Shapiro (Hi, Carl!) mentioned this patent from (the late lamented?)
Integrated Inference Machines.  I put a PDF of the patent in
/home/lispm.  It is named pat5097407.pdf, and this time (Hi, James!) I
remembered to make it readable by everybody.

If anybody's interested, there's this little shell script that uses
other Linux apps to download patents by number and build PDFs of them. 
It's really cool and easy-to-use.  It's called "pat2pdf," and a single
integer argument which is the patent number.  The home page of the
utility is http://www.tothink.com/pat2pdf
