Abstract
This paper describes TAXSY, a consultation system shell written in SAS®. TAXSY consists of a set of SAS programs which, with the addition of datasets with rules and interface code, form a flexible system for knowledge-based consultation. The design makes the knowledge transparent and allows easy modification and experimentation.
