Could you recommend any good sources (books? websites?) for computer-
generated texts?  I've been fasinated by the subject ever since seeing 
some of the results your mud was able to produce, but have been unable
to produce anything even closely resembling it on my own mud.  I'm 
usually able to work out my own solutions, but I think I could really 
do with some referance material on this one ;)
