NAME

       megahal, megahal-personal - chat with megahal

SYNOPSIS

       megahal
       megahal-personal

DESCRIPTION

       megahal  is  a  conversation  simulator.  It  differs from conversation
       simulators such as Eliza in that it uses a Markov Model to learn how to
       hold  a conversation. It is possible to teach MegaHAL to talk about new
       topics, and in different languages.  megahal-personal is a  variant  of
       megahal  that  saves its state files in ~/.megahal/ when it exits. This
       lets each user have their own personal megahal.

OPTIONS

       --no-prompt, -p
              Do not display prompt when asking user  for  input.  This  is  a
              debian-specific  modification,  and is useful mainly if you want
              to interface megahal to another program.

       --no-wrap, -w
              Do not word-wrap text megahal outputs. This is a debian-specific
              modification,  and  is  useful  mainly  if you want to interface
              megahal to another program.

       --no-banner, -b
              Suppress  the  startup  banner.  This   is   a   debian-specific
              modification,  and  is  useful  mainly  if you want to interface
              megahal to another program.

WARNING

       MegaHAL allows multiple lines to form a single  input.  Thus  a  single
       newline  character  is parsed as any other token and MegaHAL can output
       replies consisting of multiple lines. To end an input, you need to type
       enter twice.
