Fig 3. Flow diagram of a slot-and-frame parser



A slot-and-frame parser is simply an implementation of two tables of data: one
of known or expected phrases, a second with corresponding responses.


Phrase Response
+--------------------|------------------------+
|HELLO | HELLO |
+--------------------+------------------------+
|HOW ARE YOU? | VERY WELL THANK YOU |
+--------------------+------------------------+
|HOW'S THE WIFE? | STILL BREATHING |
+--------------------+------------------------+
|DO YOU WANT A BEER? | IS THE POPE A CATHOLIC?|
