I am interested in locating the (in)famous 'AI' program RACTER. Unfortunately I don't remember too much about it except that I first heard about it in an arti cle in Scientific American and that a book called "The Policeman's Beard is Hal f Constructed" that contained bits of prose that it created was published a few years ago. I am interested in finding any version of the program (source code would be fantastic) If there is a group or company that owns the rights to it o r is selling a commercial version, I would love to know their address. While I' m on the subject, if anyone knows of other 'Eliza-like' AI programs out there, please let me know. Thanks in advance, Michael Nosal (please respond to this account if possible)
