<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I cannot reproduce the misbehavior you describe. I loaded your grammar into each of the two systems (LOGON LKB and LKB-FOS), and in each system I saw no errors on loading, and I was able to successfully parse the sentence
"Kim adores snow in Oslo" (two parses produced, as expected). Note that there is no attempt to define a type "null" (without asterisks) in your user-fns.lsp, so I also don't understand how you could get the error messages you report about that undefined type.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I hope you can provide more details about your setup if the problem persists for you.</p>

<div>Dear developers,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We've been using a toy grammar (attached) in an introductory CompLing class here at UW for a number of years. Mostly we've been using it with a VM that was built for the grammar engineering class, but I seem to be remembering very positively that I used
to be able to use it with e.g. LKB FOS a year ago. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This year at least, it seems like I cannot use it with either LKB FOS or the logon distribution of the LKB. On both versions of the LKB, I observe the following:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) The grammar doesn't load, complaining about the NULL type:</div>
<div><br>
</div>

</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) I suspected that this is because, in types.tdl, *null* has asterisks but in e.g. user-fns.lsp it does not? Removing asterisks around null seems to help with the errors but it doesn't look like the grammar is working: there are no parses or even parse
charts produced.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would anyone be so kind to take a look and advise me as to how to update the toy grammar so it is working? Or perhaps this sounds like something in my (two!) setups?..</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
