                         Eliza v1.51
                         -----------

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 colour icons used by this program are also displayed  on
older machines.

The font  selector  only  works  if  you  have  installed an
external font  selector    that  follows  the  xfsl standard
(Calvino, Hugo).

"Visit my homepage" requires  a  WWW browser 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.

New in v1.3:
 - Every browser works (Light of Adamas, CAB, WenSuite)
 - If the browser is not currently in memory it will be started
   - this is multitasking only and you have to set the env.
   strings
 - Colour icon resource file
 - Send an email to me. Currently supported are Marathon and
   ASH-Emailer.
 - You can also use other browsers and email programs by
   specifying the environment strings:
     BROWSER=<location of your browser>
     EMAIL=<location of your email program>

New in v1.4
 - some internal changes

New in v1.5:
 - colour icons displayed correctly

Distribution on PD libraries is allowed. Manufacturers of CDs
should drop me a mail before publishing this program...
Any changes to the program are forbidden. The distribution
shouldn't be changed - don't remove or add files!
