Abstract

The CONNECT dialogue executor is described. It operates on microcomputers and is written in BASIC. Its objective is to separate out the input/output aspects of a dialogue from the task aspects and to provide an easy-to-use easy-to-modify adaptable interface system. The system utilizes dialogues stored as finite state transition networks accessing a set of global variables. A production system enables self adaptability to take place. The facilities of the system are described including windowing, task invocation, monitoring, variable screen prompting and adaptability. An example using a three-layered implementation of an interface to the CP M operating system is outlined.
