<p><b>Known bugs</b><br>
Matching of multiple consecutive wildcards *'s and _'s can slow down performance
significantly if there are more than 3-4 in a row. Try compressing consecutive
wildcards into single wildcards.<BR>
Matching *'s in conditions might not work perfectly.<br>
Use only the startup.xml that comes with Program E as a starting point for your startup.xml file.<br>
If you are getting an error about "get_defined_functions" then comment out line 565 in util.php. After you do that custom tags cannot be defined.<br>

<p><b>Installation Instructions</b> </p>
<p>-1. If you have a previous version of Program E delete
all of its files and wipe its database.</p>
<p>0. Prerequisites: PHP (4.0.4+) compiled --with-mysql and --with-xml and a recent
version of MySQL 3.23.xx and Apache. PHP version 4.2.2 recommended.</p>
<p>1. Unzip all the files into a web directory. </p>
<p>2. Create a database for the program to use in MySQL.</p>
<p>3. Create the tables in the new database using db.sql which is in the sql directory.</p>
<p>4. By default, AIML files and startup.xml are in the aiml directory. <b>Use
the startup.xml file included in the distribution -- do not use the startup.xml
you get with AIML files from alicebot.org</b>. AIML files that work well with
Program E can be found at <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43190">http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43190</a></p>
<p>5. Edit dbprefs.php with your database information and aiml directory information.
If you left your AIML files in the default directory you do not have to change
this. See dbprefs.php for other options you can configure.</p>
<p>6. The src/admin directory must be writable by the web server because botloader.php
will attempt to create a file subs.inc. Or you can also create an empty subs.inc
file and make it writable.</p>
<p>7. From your web browser, access botloader.php (in src/admin directory) to
load the AIML into the database. This might take a few minutes (On a dual PIII
it takes approx. 1 minute for 10,000 categories). If your PHP is running in
safe mode you might need to use botloaderinc.php to load the AIML files one
at a time. <b>IMPORTANT NOTE:</b> Whenever botloader.php is loaded it deletes
all the existing patterns/templates in the database and then loads them from
the AIML files.</p>
<p>8. Access talk.html from your web browser and say something to the bot.</p>
<p>9. Or access jsrschat.html in the jsrs directory from your web browser and
say something to the bot.</p>
<p>10. Password protect your admin directory with a .htaccess file so no one can
mess around with reloading your bot.</p>
