Oh I see. You say you've "generated a megaHAL brain..", what do you mean by that?

i've made an irc bot, and i want the project to use megahal etc. <User>: scriptkid how are you?
(here it sends to megahal "scriptkid how are you?"
and it comes up with "im just fine" and then send it:)
<scriptkid(using megahal)>:im just fine

Cool, checked out the site. Reminds me of Eliza and some work I did using LISP.

I don't see why you couldn't use any of the .NET languages to link to it.

Actually, out of curiosity, I just downloaded the Win95 port of MegaHAL and was able to interact with it just fine using some simple VB.NET code:

Code:

---

  Private Sub StartMegaHAL()
        Dim myProcess As Process = New Process()
       
        myProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
        myProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
        myProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = True
        myProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
        myProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = True
        myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "megaHAL.exe"

        Dim sOut As System.IO.StreamReader
        Dim sIn As System.IO.StreamWriter
        myProcess.Start()

        sOut = myProcess.StandardOutput
        sIn = myProcess.StandardInput
