[developers] Running LKB in tty mode

[Emily M. Bender]

Dear Mostafa,

Can you tell us about your goals with using this software?
Are you planning to develop a new grammar or run with existing
grammars?  In the case of the former, the KNOPPIX+LKB VirtualBox
appliance might be a good solution:

In case of the latter, you might investigate the other
DELPH-IN processors.

Emily
