Eliza is a program that carries on a simplistic conversation in
English. It was originally developed by Joseph Weizenbaum and
was described in the Communications of ACM, January, 1966. I
was wondering if anyone had a copy of the source for this
classic program, written in Lisp. Please email responses to
·····@macc.wisc.edu
Thank you,
Theodore Gregg

I would like to have a copy, too. Would you (whoever has the copy) e-mail to
·······@xcssun.berkeley.edu
Thanks.

Peter Norvig of Berkeley sent me a copy last year when I made a similar
request. You can have it if you want.

The most accessible version of a Eliza-like program is distributed with Gnu
Emacs. Just enter the command "doctor" to Gnu Emacs to invoke it. The source
is provided, of course, and can be found wherever your system puts its Gnu Emacs
Lisp code. Most implementations of an Eliza-like system that I have seen have
descended from a version of Doctor done for Maclisp around 1969. I don't know
the history of that software, but I think Jon L. White may have been be
responsible. The Gnu Emacs version does not look like a port of this, however.

I heard tell of an even more advanced program of this type called "Perry"
which was supposed to simulate the personality of a very paranoid person.
Does this creature really exist? Where does one get it?
