cannot start "elizagen/doctor_bbn_lisp_1966/bbnlisp.pl" : unbound symbol: stop #10

calling bbnlisp.pl -doctor66 -load bbnlib66.lisp -load doctor.ascii -load scrip.ascii

yields a very long error message, 

    > unbound symbol: stop
    throw was error at ./bbnlisp.pl line 1469, <LOADFILE> line 323.
    throw was error at ./bbnlisp.pl line 1469, <LOADFILE> line 726.

Or rather it is a warning. I can remove the respective lines in the file (they are the last lines just containing "stop"), then the error messages disappear. I get a REPL prompt, I can type (doctor) and the program responds with "tell me your troubles. please terminate input with an enter.".

The perl I'm using is 

This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 1 (v5.22.1) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
(with 68 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

on Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, this is unsupported code. You could contact the author directly, but he isn't subscribed to this repo as far as I know.
