(My goal: given an unknown lujvo, break > it up into parts and display the definitions of each of > those parts.) I have a set of programs which, given a (grammatically correct) lojban utterance, generates a gloss of it. This includes having the bracketing of the original to see the grammatical structure, and looking up the word-for-word "translations" of the words, including breaking up lujvo and finding the definitions of each component. It was heavily critised by everyone who tried it, apparently because it's text based, doesn't have pretty colours, and runs under DOS. However, I now have versions that run under Linux, NetBSD, RiscOS and Solaris, although it's still entirely text based. I use it all the time, the main problem being that it doesn't cope at all gracefully with grammatically incorrect material, and much of what's written on this list is. Anyway, the code is yours if you want it. It's mostly C, but with some script or batch files to glue together the separate components. cdw -- \\// ze'uku ko jmive gi'e snada
