Samples from Nora's Parser/Glosser

[Bob LeChevalier-Logical Language Group <lojbab@xxxxxx.xxxx]

Well, Nora has given her program over to John Cowan for an independent
check before we make it available (partly because the program requires John
to release his parser). But I can let you see what it does. Here are two
recent Lojban List texts - on an exchange involving Jorge, and the other a
post by Michael Helsem.

The list of place structure tags will be in plaintext and tunable, and
indeed we will want people to provide inputs for improved tags.

Comments welcome
