We have bought the book by John R. Anderson "Rules of the Mind", Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. which includes a disk containing ACT-R Loader, Documentation, Examples, Read M, and Code. However, it runs only under Macintosh CommonLisp 2.0. My question: Is it possible to get a version running under DOS from Microsoft or could you advice me how to convert the programs. Thank you very much in advance.
