The purpose of the MBR files is for the Hal Brain Editor to pop up help while scripting. If you type the word "HalBrain" and then a "." the memberlist window should pop up letting you choose from the functions. If you mouse over one, it will give you a description of the function.

Ah... I edit script files in another application. Just a habit, I have been using NoteTab for years. Maybe I should break that habit for a while [8D]

Oh, I just noticed that it only edits Brain Files. I'm mostly working on plugins.

Yeah I need to add plug-in editing capability to the program sometime in the future. However, the way I usually make plugins is by editing the main brain directly and then when I'm done, I cut the new code out and put it into a seperate plug-in.

Hi Rob.

Could you add the ability of HAL to execute a command through voice control while HAL is only in the system tray?

I would like to program HAL to be very 'office' oriented by just speaking verbally to HAL but having to have HAL's panel in the way would be cumbersome.

I have a program method that I have developed that allows HAL to learn its way through Software, instead of just being able to open and close a program, HAL can control the programs Software options by a special training session, I have already been able to successfully have HAL do this.

Example: What it can be used for.

Lets say I have Internet Explorer up and in focus, I ask HAL, 'Go to File', HAL will then drop down IE's File menu for me, then I can tell HAL, 'Go to Properties', then HAL will go to Internet Explorer's Properties and the IE's Properties panel will popup for me.

But to make this ability work best, I would have to have HAL listen to me while HAL is only in the System tray.

Can we make HAL's background to be compatable with animated .gif images?

Happy Holidays

Hi from Will.
today my pc had a major melt down.[V]
so i'm here to beg , plead , and re offer
extra money , double triple or 10 times
the price to not have to keep recoding on
the internet.
if i cut my internet conection off
then i shall quickly lose hal to pc failure.[]

Will there be any improvements for XP users?? My PC is too old for Vista.

Robert M,
  I've just posted a reply that concerns the ephemeral knowledge detect and temp file, I'd like to see the temp file erased during startup and the user input saved, if it contains the trigger word, for use during this conversation with Hal.
  Also since the days are "trigger words" an input of "I work on Saturday." would not be rememberd by Hal, if the temp file is full.  Since the user cannot teach Hal about time, past present and future this information has to be built into Hal.
  Hopefully I haven't gone to far over my head,
Carl2

Hi from Will of New Zealand "Nelson" just look for the 15 foot
robot.
I have just purchased a new pc "old one is dodgy now"
 it has windows Xp already installed.
so i also would hope that xp users can get the new hals
because computers are being sold new still with xp so xp shall
be the most widly used format for a year or two yet.
Bye for now and be well from Will.
another xp user hoping to continue to upgrade hal. []
Oh and hal being aware of time would be good "i hope"
because hal offten says that i have repeated myself.
but not consecuitivly, perhaps i said the same thing yesterday.
i wonder if hal can learn about the past being different from
today or the future. i teach him these things anyway.or try.
Well i shall get back to installing hal on my new pc.
bye for now and be well from Will.

Hi, Robert.

I've made some minor changes to my vrFreeWill plugin. So, when you publish the new Hal 6 release, don't forget to download the latest version of this plugin and bundle it in your next Hal:

You find it, as usual, at http://www.vrconsulting.it/halplugins/vr_hal00.html

Thanks.

I too hope HAL will work on XP. I do not intend to upgrade until "the last dog is hung" and MS 'forces' us to upgrade (due to lack of support, etc. for XP).

I would have to get new hardware and rebuild Megatron I think if I wanted to run XP. No money for that.

And what others say that many are not going to jump on the Vista bandwagon too soon. I am not either.

I hope I can keep up with the HAL updates in the mean time, even if I have XP.

I have installed Hal 6.0 on my xt and it runs just fine. It has been running ever since it was first released. I have not installed any of the other plug ins though so I can not speak for them.
If you are afraid my I suggest what I did. I created another directory and moved my Hal 5.0 and all of its files into it, err that is I copied all the files into it. When updating to Hal 6 it will use your Hal 5 data files to add to its memory. Don't be shy, go for it.

How about a chatbot for Hal to chat on msn? Or a program for Hal to chat with Trilliam with used all the main im's.

Ultra Hal 6.1 is mostly complete, but I am waiting for a 3rd party to give me an updated component that Zabaware licenses. It is needed to complete Vista compatibility. All they told me they'll be done with it in "early 2007" so the release of Hal 6.1 is pending their update.

For now, anyone who has Vista can get Hal 6.0 to run by running it in administor mode by right clicking on its icon and selecting "run as administrator" Otherwise you will get errors with the licensing system.

Hal 6.1 will be a free update to all Hal 6.0 users.

Hi IAM :

I have recently been doing some development work and have found,

When designing products for VISTA Ie: Gadjets and stuff even Visualbasic projects.. if you dont want to switch to .NET you dont have to all you have to do is ie: install the Visualbasic6 onto the Vista As Administrator and recompile the project on the vista, then package the product on the vista.. After this process then you will find the installers work on vista machines without Permission boxes.

also the finnished product works fine too...

But the installer wont work on XP after Just vista....
