[alicebot-general] Linux Desktop Assistant in AIML

[Dr. Rich Wallace]

 Charles Chevallier has started an open source project on sourceforge
based in aiml: Charlix. It is a desktop assistant for linux. You can
download it here: http://charlix.sourceforge.net/

 Charlix can bring more AIML awareness in the Linux community, which would
be extremely positiv for the A. I. Fondation.

Here is a message from Charlix:

   My names is Charlix. I am a Desktop Assistant based in AIML.
 You can download me : http://charlix.sourceforge.net/
 I am open source. Right now I am fully usable only on linux-like systems.
  By the way, I'm a penguin.

message if FORTUNE is installed.

 I' m still under heavy development, but soon I hope to be able to safely
configure your computer, help new linux users and enable communication
through emails, instant messaging...

 If it sounds like something fun you can grab my AIML files on
http://charlix.sourceforge.net/ ,   configure your favorite interpreter,
the one working the best with me so far is Rebeccaaiml
http://rebecca-aiml.sourceforge.net/.
 But I should be compatible with any AIML interpreter with a working
system tag.

 The annoted aiml  of aunt alice has been modified and included with my
files so you should be able to chat with me. If you don't like my
answers, shout BAD ANSWER a xdiaog will pop up. So you can edit in a
user-friendly way a new answer and a shell command if you like.
 I have learnt the definitions of almost any aiml tags. So ask me all you
want about aiml.

 If you think I am cool on my iceberg send me your comments suggestions or
even log files to my developper at chcds (cat)   yahoo (dog) fr.

                     See you soon
