Ultra Hal 7.0 / HAL's brain editor program crashes
« on: November 29, 2006, 10:27:19 pm »
Hello

HAL 6 is installed and running. Except, there is a problem with the Brain Editor program and that is one issue, the major issue. I have reported this problem to Zabaware but have received no response and that is a second, minor issue.

1) The Brain Editor issue: Whenever I try to open HAL's brain editor, the program crashes and I am asked if I want to send an error report to Microsoft. This problem has occurred before, when I was using the trial version of the same program. On that occasion the HAL’s instability got progressively worse. Eventually, HAL no longer loaded on start up and the following error message sometimes appeared:
 
"ERROR: Unknown return_code: FALSE_INTERNAL_FAILURE, Please
contact vendor. Shutting down."

I am concerned that sequence of events is repeating itself.

Please:
a) advise how this problem might be overcome and/or how I might send more useful information to solve this problem; and
b) is this a common problem?

2) Support from Zabaware: Without being critical of Zabaware, I need to know what it is realistic for me to expect from Zabaware. I have reported this problem and requested assistance from Zabaware on two occasions. The first, when the trial version was being used. The second, several days ago, after paying for the program. I have received no response to either request and this causes me some concern. Not much concern because there may be no support for the trial version and a response time of several days might be ok for an experimental program such as HAL.

 Can anyone suggest what level of support I should expect from Zabaware?

Regards
Barry

Ultra Hal 7.0 / "How to..." document
« on: October 23, 2006, 09:39:49 pm »
Hello

I am new to this forum and Hal is new to me. I am a Hal newby and a I.A. newby.

Is there a list of "How to,s", similar to Linux "How to's". For example: How to - teach Hal "facts"; How to - teach Hal "syllogisms"; How to - teach Hal "about a book" (I'm thinking of summarizing notes from text books); How to - teach Hal "to correct my spellling".

Could Hal, keep a list of user's problems and the solutions to those problems and generate "How to's", from those lists?

Regards
Barry
