Greetings NICOLE followers,

In the next day or so, I will be releasing NICOLE-0.1.0

What's different about this release compared to the others? I'm glad you asked.
:)

The past releases (0.0.0 -> 0.0.5) have been development releases and contain
half finished objects and programs. Since I have had a large break in my exams,
I have spent the weekend coding, completing the vocabulary object, as well as
the responder object. I've also done some tidying up of code (as well as a
little bit of documentation).

The main feature for this release is that: *** NICOLE now has the ability and
means to reply to human input!!!! ***

I've spent a good hour or so populating the database with sentences and NICOLE
is starting to reply back with my input, and MAKE SENSE!! The theory actually
looks like it works!!

This has been 10 years in the making!! and it is nice to finally release a
workable version of NICOLE after so many false starts. I'm not getting too
excited however. I'd much prefer to hear back from other people if they have the
same results as I have.

Within the next few days, I will place NICOLE-0.1.0 on the www site
(http://nicole.sourceforge.net).

Feel free to download 0.1.0 when it is available it and try it out for yourself!

Cheers,
Phil Howlett.
