ABSTRACT

  Megahal is a conversation simulator that learns as you talk to it.
  It uses a Markov Model to learn how to hold a conversation. It is
  possible to teach Meagahal to talk about new topics, and in
  different languages.

DESCRIPTION

megahal_initialize(): Initialize megahal brain. Required before other functions are called.
megahal_do_reply(text, log): Update the brain by feeding him the input text. Logging is controlled via the log boolean. Returns the answer of the bot.
megahal_learn_no_reply(): Same as above but without making a reply. Much faster and typically used in scripts for quick learning.
megahal_cleanup(): You need to call this function to save the brain, and finish Megahal.

FILES

Megahal looks for the following files in the current directory:

megahal.brn: Megahal brain.
megahal.ban: List of words which cannot be used as keywords.
megahal.log: Log file for errors.
megahal.txt: Log file for the conversation.
megahal.swp: Keyword translation for Megahal. If Megahal choose ``why'' as keyword and find a line containing ``why because'' in a line of this file then ``why'' gets translated in ``because'' in the reply.
