Fred
Version 1.1

	Fred is an artificial intelligence program for Windows 95.  You talk to him in plain English, and he remembers what you say, even from your previous conversations with him.  He can be annoying at times, and sometimes forget to use proper grammar.  Fred is an excellent listener to your problems, but can't answer your questions unless you tell him the answer first.  He is freeware, so give him to anyone you want, but please do not forget to distribute the readme (this file) with the executable as well.  Also, if you like Fred, please email me; my address is Chris86039@aol.com.  I would like to see how many people are using, and hopefully enjoying, my programs.  That is all that I ask in return for producing my programs and giving them away for free.  Please send me any bug reports as well.

Instructions-
	Start Fred and type in your name - just your name - and then just talk to him by typing in the text box at the bottom and pushing enter.  He remembers things you say, and saves your conversation to a file when you exit.  You can save your conversation to disk as a rich text (RTF) file, or a text (TXT) file, as well as print it.  The interface is pretty simple, and there is always the help button if you get lost.

Tips-
	Even though it isn't necessary, you should to talk to Fred with proper puncuation, capitalization, grammar, etc.  If you don't, he can end up saying some pretty strange things!  You should also say only one sentence at a time to Fred.  You can use Fred to store information, such as phone numbers.  Just tell him what you want to remember.  Later, he'll remember.  WARNING: Fred, like humans, needs time for things to sink in.  In order for him to remember something, and save it, you must say something else, but not a question, after it.
