Noel, 

	Where do you want us to post bug reports?



The following things don't work correctly in 4.5 to my knowledge.


<CATEGORY>
	<PATTERN>ARE YOU A * OR *</PATTERN>
	<TEMPLATE>This gets matched instead of the other pattern</TEMPLATE>
</CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY>
	<PATTERN>ARE YOU A PERSON PLACE OR THING</PATTERN>
	<TEMPLATE>This doesn't get matched with the input being "Are you a
person place or thing"</TEMPLATE>
</CATEGORY>


Next, 

Occasionally, for some unknown reason, ProgramD will report "match is null"
and not match any pattern, not even the default 
<CATEGORY>
	<PATTERN>*</PATTERN>
	<TEMPLATE>Did not match any patterns</TEMPLATE>
</CATEGORY>


That's all I've found so far. I love the merge policies, and the reporting
of duplicate categories. One request I did have though, was if ProgramD
could report the line number where it finds an error. Nice to see this
program updated, it's always been my favorite of the AIML interpreters.
