# INRAC

Perl module for working with INRAC

Greg Kennedy, 2018

## What?

INRAC is a language used for creating "chat bots" (text parse and response).  It is most known for being the language that powered RACTER, the famous chat program from the early 1980s.

Information on the language is difficult to find.  This module, and the accompanying documentation, is an attempt at reverse-engineering the INRAC language.

## How to Use

Get some RACTER data files (*.RAC), and place them in the `data/` subfolder.  Launch the engine with `./Racter.pl`.

## Docs

Reverse engineering documentation is located in the `doc/` subfolder.
