[alicebot-developer] AIML .Net

[Dr. Rich Wallace]

Wow, this is awesome!  Really, developments like this are what make
running the AIF web site and mailing lists etc. worth it.  Your efforts
are appreciated greatly by me, and I am sure, by all members of the AIML
community.  Thank you!

I will get a link to "Program#" up in the Downloads section and a news
item posted at the next opportunity.

One question: how about a .exe download for non-programmers?

Also, I hope you can make it to the ALICE 10th anniversary symposium on
November 25.  See http://www.alicebot.org/bbbbbbb.html

> About 18 months ago when I was learning C# and the .NET platform I wrote

> 1.0 shouldn't work. I'm also pleased to say that it works with Mono
> (tested with v1.0.5). I've had quite a bit of fun integrating it into
> Windows.Forms applications, Windows services and Web services. I've also
>  implemented a couple of "custom tags" (not included) that will do silly
>  things like search Wikipedia and translate using Babelfish.

> I've also written a ToDo file that explains what I feel needs to be done
>  and improved. As always, comments, suggestions and especially
> improvments are most welcome!
