elizabot.js v.1.1 - ELIZA JS library (N.Landsteiner 2005)

Eliza is a mock Rogerian psychotherapist.

Original program by Joseph Weizenbaum in MAD-SLIP for "Project MAC" at MIT.

cf: Weizenbaum, Joseph "ELIZA - A Computer Program For the Study of Natural Language

		Communication Between Man and Machine"

		in: Communications of the ACM; Volume 9 , Issue 1 (January 1966): p 36-45.

JavaScript implementation by Norbert Landsteiner 2005; 

synopsis:

	new ElizaBot(  )

	ElizaBot.prototype.transform(  )

	ElizaBot.prototype.getInitial()

	ElizaBot.prototype.getFinal()

	ElizaBot.prototype.reset()

usage:

	var eliza = new ElizaBot();

	var initial = eliza.getInitial();

	var reply = eliza.transform(inputstring);

	if (eliza.quit) {

		// last user input was a quit phrase

	}

	// method `transform()' returns a final phrase in case of a quit phrase

	// but you can also get a final phrase with:

	var final = eliza.getFinal();

	// other methods: reset memory and internal state

	eliza.reset();

	// to set the internal memory size override property `memSize':

	eliza.memSize = 100; // (default: 20)

	// to reproduce the example conversation given by J. Weizenbaum

	// initialize with the optional random-choice-disable flag

	var originalEliza = new ElizaBot(true);

`ElizaBot` is also a general chatbot engine that can be supplied with any rule set.

(for required data structures cf. "elizadata.js" and/or see the documentation.)

data is parsed and transformed for internal use at the creation time of the

first instance of the `ElizaBot' constructor.

vers 1.1: lambda functions in RegExps are currently a problem with too many browsers.

					changed code to work around.
