I'd love to find some source code for reimplementing this.
ELIZA is relatively easy to find. Even Wikipedia has some links.
I once heard that some CS students at another college wrote a program to
mimic a schizophrenic, to talk to ELIZA. S'posedly non computer people in

But, alas, I can't find any citations.
