Ruby Aiml parser

Hi ruby enthusiasts!

I am trying to run a aiml parser writen a few years ago called ProgramR.
Nevertheless I can’t make it work.
The program runs, I can see the graph master but the bot just gives me a
blank string.

I contacted the authors to their e-mails but none have answered me.
Can someone run this app to see if I am doing anything wron.
You check it out at http://aiml-programr.rubyforge.org/
I think ruby lacks an aiml parser and this should benefict enourmouly he
ruby community.

Thanks in advance
