She has done the 'obvious' checks, and it turns out that a computationally complete test is beyond the scope of even my new hyperspeed machine - too many possible word forms out to say a 15-phoneme string series needed to test all of the algoirthm possibilities, even with intelligent weeding of the test cases (which only cuts 99% of the cases out). The best thing we can thus suggest is to have people interested, and capable of running DOS software (its written in Turbo Pascal, and the object is small enough to reasonably email - about 14K, even if the source is more like 60-100K and hence a bit much to consider porting to another language or compiler), and interested in the questions of the morphology and/or Lojban speech recognition, let me know and we can send people copies to bang on with their worst imagined test cases after looking at the algorithm. lojbab
