Subject: CMU's HEARSAY program: anybody has any info? (maybe Bob Hyatt...)

I came across a mention to a program called HEARSAY which was developed at CMU
in the late 60's or early 70's i believe, and was a speech recognizing program
that played chess. [A probably apocryphal story claims that during the final
testing by someone from the funding agency, while the microphone was being
connected this guy cleared his throat, which the program promptly translated as
'pawn to king four'.]

Any information on the program and of its relation, if any, to subsequent ones
would be appreciated. Thanks

Roberto
