- I've been looking for ages for what I believe is "Racter"...an AI
- program that supposedly composed fictional text (albeit somewhat
- disjunct and bizarre). I read about it in Omni and I guess it wrote a
- book called "The Policeman's Beard Is Half Constructed".
-
- Is there anyone out there that knows about it? Was it a fake? Is
- "Policeman's..." available anywhere? Is it possible to still get a copy
- of this program?
-
- Are there similar or better programs available?
-
- Is there someone out there with a copy of Racter (or like program) that
- could send me a copy of the output?
-
- Thanks....
