Hello,

I have written a small program which simulates a conversation.  As
a matter of fact, it is just a simple first-order Markov chain.
It takes an input sentence from the user, updates the Markov model,
and then generates a random output sentence.

Interested people may want to have a conversation with the program.
Just take a look at my home page, and follow the link to HAL.  My
home page is at the URL;

<URL:http://ciips.ee.uwa.edu.au/~hutch>

Or you can go straight to HAL at:

<URL:http://ciips.ee.uwa.edu.au/~hutch/Hal.html>

J.

BTW: This program was written purely as a joke, and isn't intended
	  to be a serious attempt at simulating a conversation.
