Is there a parser for this >version available, or is/has anyone doing/done any work on such a thing? John Cowan put together a beta version of a 300 parser, but has not released it. I don't remember what he was waiting for, but Nora was at the the same time working on a version 300 glosser with enhancements. The latter will place-structure-smart for gismu (i.e. English glosses will use prepositions). I was also working on a random sentence generator that was going to be used to bang on the parser - generally a good way to test obscure cases. Nora and my efforts got sidetracked by "real life" (Nora by Y2K, myself by childrearing and perpetual Lojban order and paperwork backlogs that I am finally starting to get a handle on again). John? lojbab
