Ki, a simple mobile agent framework, was described in a series of
articles for JavaWorld in 1998.

To run Ki you need Java -- any version of Java released in the last
ten years should be sufficient (you can bitch about Java all you want,
but Java code ages well -- I dropped the code, compiled class files
and all, onto a MacBook Pro and fired it up with Java 1.6 and
everything ran).

To run:

$ cd ki
$ java Ki

(Apologies for the title of the last article.)

Topography:

 * without_jess - the framework without Jess dependencies/support
 * with_jess - the framework with Jess dependencies/support
 * v2_dev - later development on the framework

Both without_jess and with_jess include compiled class files and
sample agents.
