DESCRIPTION:
------------
Cybernetic Physician is an artificial intelligence expert system, with
inference engine and medical knowledge base.  Intended for home use,
and using non-technical terms, this program attempts to diagnose illness
and injury by the user's responses to simple questions.  "Not intended to
replace the services of a qualified physician."  This is a full working
shareware evaluation version, with a small, but useful subset of the
entire knowledge base.  Works on any Amiga, WorkBench 1.3 and up.

REGISTRATION:
-------------
Registration is only $14.95 plus shipping and handling.  Registrants
receive version 2.0 of this program, which contains the entire
knowledge base. 

INSTRUCTIONS
------------
The program is designed to be easy to use.  Online help is provided,
by either pressing the "HELP" key, or choosing "HELP" from the main
menu.

Use of the program is based on two easy steps:

1) A "Profile" must be placed in memory, either by choosing 
"PROJECT/NEW PROFILE" from the menu, or "PROJECT/LOAD PROFILE", which
loads a previously created profile in memory.

What is a "profile"?  It just contains data on the "subject", the subject
of the query of the database.

2) Once a profile is in memory, choose "PROJECT/INTERROGATE" to begin
the query.  You will first be shown a list of major complaints... 
choose the single complaint that best fits the subject's condition.
Then you will be shown the history list, then the symptom list.
You will then be asked simple questions.  Finally, the program
attempts to diagnose.
