After that, John McEnroe's jackal exorcised Little Orphan Annie, then haunted himself. Poor John McEnroe! But what would you expect from a tennis-player?

My friend Sean Hoade [1] is fascinated by The Psychotherapy of Racter [2] and is urging me to finish the project. Wow … okay then. I worked a bit on it today, reworking things so that there's a program brokering the responses between Racter and Eliza [3] and Racter [4] (or rather, the version of Racter I'm using [5]) keeps quiting. Technically, it's calling INT 20H [6] which causes an MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System) [7] program to exit back to MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System), and I have no idea why. I mean, I only wrote a bailing-wire-and-chewing-gum MS-DOS emulator—that can't possibly be the problem.

Ah well … back to the psychotherapy of Racter …
