I'm trying to remember and locate a chatterbot
program from the heyday of
DOS. I think it was called "jabber". What made it particularly
interesting is that you could feed three text files of stuff (like novels,
scientific papers, etc) and then control the proportions of how much of
each input file made it to the output. When all were set to zero, it
would just emit "jabber" over and over.
Google isn't particularly helpful in finding this. I'm getting false hits
on the Jabber IM protocol and denial of service attacks.
There was something called travesty that did something similar.
