[developers] Running LKB in tty mode

[Glenn Slayden]

Hello Mostafa,
 
Since you don't need generation support, you can use any of the four DELPH-IN parsers. I am aiming to have a first supported release
of 'agree' available this summer. Until that time, the current sources can be obtained without support by contacting me. 
 
ACE and PET have stable releases, and can also produce the MRS output you require with maximum real-time performance. Because the
rest of your system uses LISP, continuing to use the LKB seems like a good fit. Emily's suggestion of KNOPPIX+LKB is a hassle-free
route to LKB.
 
We welcome your participation in the DELPH-IN community!
 
Glenn

Dear Emily,
 
My goal is to get MRS output from LKB and represent it in SNePS (Semantic network processing system) which is another system written
in common lisp  http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/sneps/
 
Thanks for the suggestions, If all fails, I'll check out the other processors. Is there any particular processor you'd recommend for
my case?. Thank you for your time.
 
Regards,
 
Mostafa Gomaa

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.
