BASIC Anywhere Machine: ELIZA Chatbot

Out of what!? dang it was just getting interesting, I was solving all Eliza's problems...

Oh well.

So what is limiting time with your Eliza mod? Your own distaste for it? (I doubt that but who knows for sure.)

Is it recording anything into a limited size array? Seems like the original program from Morristown could go on forever.

I had great lessons playing with Morristown code found in SmallBASIC library, the first decent Basic I found coming back to Basic programming in 2014.
All those data directions are very limiting what you can do with Eliza so that was first mod I made, dump that and load script file that you could edit and code could recalc line numbers for replies according to script it was loading.

I made many scripts and Ron77 is still using variations of for new script/personality to replace Eliza. He still shows off Append function that adds a line to an array.
My substitute personality script player was called Player, like a record player this code played scripts like for actors and writers, practice dialogues.

OK I reviewed the code and nothing there is showing the end of session message I got when trying out your code, Charlie, on-line. So where is the time or array limit coming from?

Out of Data error means trying to read past the DATA statements.

This program is as-is code found at https://gist.github.com/dmberry/3f84d0f81ddb5dc8f054

Except: that program failed immediately because the code on github was missing a DATA statement.  I wound up finding the missing data statement at www.atariarchives.org/bcc3/showpage.php?page=251

The code on github was missing the very last line found in that atariarchives reference.

If the program is complaining with "Out of Data", then either there is a bug in the program from atariarchives, or there is still another line missing from the github code that might be found in the atariarchives reference.

The code on github is either a bad copy/paste job from whatever source, or a bad typing job, or both.  If the github source is the atariarchives code, and they match, then there's a problem in the atariarchives code listing.

Here's a question.  What the heck is this?

120 FOR X=1 TO N1+N2+N3:READ Z$:NEXT X:REM SAME AS RESTORE


That doesn't make sense to me because:

90 DIM C$(72),I$(72),K$(72),F$(72),S$(72),R$(72),P$(72),Z$(72)
110 N1=36:N2=12:N3=112 ' N1+N2+N3 = 160


There is something really cuckoo with line 120

Okay, I think I've fixed that.

You'll see in the source code what I've commented out from the original.

Any non-numbered lines are new by me.
