                                 Eliza v1.2
                                 ----------

Eliza is a new GEM-based version of the old computer-psychatrist
program Eliza. The original program was developed in the 70's and
was an early example of artificial intelligence. American students
believed that they were talking to a real human being! They
answered every question correctly and so they felt understood by
Eliza which only recognized a few words. Right now in the 90's
you can talk to Eliza, too. And you can even feel more understood
than the students!

This version knows a lot more words than the old TOS version and
is also more "intelligent". There are some special words or
other events which cause a special reaction by Eliza. Try to find
them all!!!

Eliza runs on all Atari computers & clones with at least TOS 1.0.
You can either run it as an Accessory or as a program. This program
is resolution independent but some dialogs require 80 columns.
There is special support for 16 and 256 colours but there are
no restrictions for monchrome users. GDOS, the clipboard and
iconify are also supported.

The font selector only works if you have installed an exterernal
font selector (Calvino, MagiC4-Fontselect).

"Visit my homepage" requires CAB and an internet connection.

"Cut","Copy","Paste" - no joke, Eliza supports the clipboard!
Although this is not a typical clipboard application I have
included this feature to demonstrate that clipboard support is very
easy with Face Value. If you click on "Cut" or "Copy" Eliza creates
a file containing the text in the 'you' field. "Paste" copies the
first text line of "Scrap.txt" in the 'you' field.

Distribution on PD libraries is allowed. Manufacturers of CDs
should drop me a mail before publishing this program...
