Phil,
I have another idea, if you made NICOLE command line based, so that I type
"nicole 'and the message i want to sent nicol'"     format :    nicole
<message>,
then it would be easy to make servers, we could even make web based servers,
irc-like servers, whatever anyone wanted. All NICOLE does is respond to what
you say, might just want to have it command driven, and get rid of its
current interface, and keave that to programs that want to make their own
interfaces. Alos, one other feature you should add in is the ability to
chage NICOLE"s name, so I can type computer <message>, or jack <message>.

I may experiment with the code I have, when do you expect another release?
If not soon I might make NICOLE command line based just to play around.
