NAME

doctor − interact with a psychoanalyst

SYNOPSIS

/usr/games/doctor

DESCRIPTION

Doctor is a lisp-language version of the legendary ELIZA program of Joseph Weizenbaum.  This script "simulates" a Rogerian psychoanalyst.  Type in lower case, and when you get tired or bored, type your interrupt character (either control-C or Rubout).  Remember to type two carriage returns when you want it to answer. 

In order to run this you must have a Franz Lisp system in /usr/ucb/lisp. 

AUTHORS

Adapted for Lisp by Jon L White, moved to Franz by John Foderaro, from an original script by Joseph Weizenbaum. 

BUG

It shows how impressed people were willing to be way back then.
