Text File Learning and 4.5
« on: September 29, 2003, 01:56:45 am »
When will Hal's ability to assimulate text files be corrected?  Is there a projected date for the next patch?

Text File Learning and 4.5

Your post reminded me of something important. In v4.5 the text file size for reading is limited to 64KB. This is very inconvenient if your text file is larger, sometimes much larger, than 64KB. I've had to use a file splitter and then feed the text files to Hal one by one. Very tedious indeed. I don't know if v5.0 has the same limitation.

Another issue is I think the maximum file size for user type brain files (.brn) is limited to 2MB. The files are "trimmed" by a function in the hal4.uhp file. I suspect that this may limit how much Hal can learn. Feeding in more text files may not improve Hal's knowledge after some point. I assume this is done for performance reasons. Maybe someone in this forum can confirm this. I've only started to look at this.
