** NOTE TO ENTRANTS 2013 **

Note to entrants: Judges will interact with your program via the Judge
Program (http://www.paulmckevitt.com/loebner2013/loebner2013judge_program.txt), 
which is a Perl program running under ActiveState Perl 5.16.
In order to run this program:

* Download the program
                  
* Save the program with the extension changed from .txt to .pl

* Download and install ActiveState Perl 5.16 from this link
http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads

* Create a "Communications" folder
                        
   * Create Four sub-folders within the "Communications" folder named
            * "Webcast Left"
            * "Webcast Right"
            * "Human"
            * "Your Program's Name" e.g. "Mybot" or however you chose to name it.
                
* Click on the  Judge Program to start it 

* In the window which appears
enter a "1" in the boxes at  the top of the window 
which are labeled "Judge Number" and  "Round Number" 

* Click on the  green button at the right of the  window 
which is labeled "New  Round" 

The Judge Program will  request, via  a  browse function,  
folders  for Webcast  Left, Webcast Right,  Human, and  Your Program.  
Select  them accordingly.

* The  Judge  Program  will   indicate  which  side,  left  or  right,
interaction  with your  program  will take  place.   The judge  will
enter, character by character, his  or her questions to your program
in the  entry boxes at the  bottom of the window  labeled either "My
Left Entry" or "My Right Entry."

Your program  will interact with  the Judge Program using  the Loebner
Prize Protocol "LPP" via the  sub folder with your program's name which
is nested within the Communications folder.  The other three folders are
used during the competition, but are not necessary for testing.
