that will query the user about the specfic problem currently faced
in the use of a computer;the user will provide information through
a series of natural language-based inputs.Understandably,this type
of system is new to the industry,and your proposed development should
take this into account.

have asked that they see at least part of the interface portion quickly;after
which they will then decide whether further development should continue.
