After that, John McEnroe's jackal exorcised Little Orphan Annie, then haunted
himself. Poor John McEnroe! But what would you expect from a tennis-player?
My friend Sean Hoade [1] is fascinated by _The Psychotherapy of Racter_ [2]
and is urging me to finish the project. Wow … okay then. I worked a bit on it
today, reworking things so that there's a program brokering the responses
between Racter and Eliza [3] and Racter [4] (or rather, the version of Racter
I'm using [5]) keeps quiting. Technically, it's calling INT 20H [6] which
causes an MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System) [7] program to exit back
to MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System), and I have no idea why. I mean,
I only wrote a bailing-wire-and-chewing-gum MS-DOS emulator—that can't
possibly be the problem.
Ah well … back to the psychotherapy of Racter …
