Factory Description

[Norman Hardy]

Sure.

I suppose that "escrow" means executing instructions from two parties
contingent on situations being met. Agorics has some code that does escrow
stuff more nearly like the escrow function used in buying a house. Two
goods and two predicates are provided to the agent by two parties. If the
predicates are both satisfied when applied to the opposite pariy's goods,
the goods are each transfered to the other party. The goods can be money.

I think that "escrow" is more general than either of these.
