Hi,
Also forgot to mention the number one up & coming network agent language
Telescript by General Magic. _HOWEVER_ it is (a) unreleased yet, (b) Not
freeware (c) not agent-like in the sense that the intelligent agent
community think of. It's LISP-like, apparently, and does not support (yet),
the typical AI-ish agent facets, such as BDI, etc.

I also forgot to mention PLACA - an extension of Agent-0 by Becky
Thomas, for her PhD. It adds a planning component, but it is also not on
public release yet... Maybe if we all beg her, she'll speed up the
release... :-)

Cheers,
Winton
