	I read somthing a while back about a system that was helping
	DEC configure systems that involve VAX's.  Maybe someone from
	DEC could help us out on just what the name of the program was.

I'm not from DEC, but I can answer the question.  The program is called
'r1'.  It is a production rule system written in OPS5 by John McDermott
at Carnegie-Mellon University.  A reference should be pretty easy to
find by looking in IJCAI or AAAI proceedings of the past couple of
years.
