[net.followup] SHRDLU

winograd@nbires.UUCP (Steve Winograd) (03/07/84)

SHRDLU is a program for understanding natural language written by
Terry Winograd (my brother) for his Ph.D. dissertation at MIT in 1970.
It is described in his book "Understanding Natural Language" published
by Academic Press in 1972.

There is a problem with getting the source code:  after all these years,
Terry no longer has a copy of it.  You might try contacting:

   1. the AI lab at MIT.
   2. Dave McDonald at the Computer Science department at the University
      of Massachusetts in Amherst (he used to send out tapes from MIT AI).

Dr. Tony Earrwig is an anagram for Terry Winograd.
