>From time to time I see a description of an appliance that says it's
using either fuzzy programming or logic. Does anyone have an
explanation of how this differs in practice to "ordinary" programming ?

I've read texts on FP/FL and, TBH, the explanations offered are, well,
fuzzy. Am I missing something ? My catalogues offer FL ICs, but
until I grasp what FL actually means I won't get the relevance of such
ICs. I see references to analysis, estimations, learning and adaptive
coding. Is self-modifying code considered FL ?

When I've got a project on I go through the usual steps to work out how
to accomplish the tasks the micro has to perform. If there's a linear
function, such as motor positioning or temp control I can usually concoct
something fairly smart and flexible to get it done. Have I discovered FL
and not realised it or is "fuzzy" just a buzz word for a process that we
Flintstone programmers have used for years ? If there's a whole "new"
world of inter-active programming out there I'd like to know about it.
